TeX or pdfTeX generate such a file (I have tried a file with 7 pages).
But the DVI drivers behave different:
* dvitype is ok, it reports
| there are really 7 pages, not 4464!
and lists all pages.
* dvi2tty prints all 7 pages.
* dvips only prints 4464 pages, but reports in the header:
| %%Pages: 7
* dvipdfmx only prints 4464 pages.
* XeTeX aborts with
| ** ERROR ** Page number 70001l too large!
Perhaps dvips could be fixed, it already knows the correct
number of pages?
And if someone wants to play:
% iniTeX
\catcode`\{=1 %
\catcode`\}=2 %
\catcode`\#=6 %
\countdef\C=0 %
\C=1 %
\countdef\X=255 %
\X=7 %
\chardef\I=1 %
\let\A=\advance
\let\S=\shipout
\let\H=\hbox
\let\N=\ifnum
\let\F=\fi
\def\P{%
\S\H{}%
\A\C\I
\N\C\X
\let\P\relax

Re: [XeTeX] HELP! ** ERROR ** Page number 65536l too large!
Dear Heiko,
* dvitype is ok, it reports
| there are really 7 pages, not 4464!
In this case total_pages may be written in the dvi as 4464.
I find in tex.web:
@ At the end of the program, we must finish things off by writing the
post\-amble. If |total_pages=0|, the \.{DVI} file was never opened.
If |total_pages=65536|, the \.{DVI} file will lie. And if
|max_push=65536|, the user deserves whatever chaos might ensue.
Best,
Akira
