One of our people is getting a crash in xetex, which I can't reproduce.
It's very odd, since afaik we're both using the same input files, the
same instance of xetex, the same TeXLive 2014 files, and so forth, and
running on the same machine. Clearly s.t. is different, but I'm not
sure what,
It may be so, it looks like a postscript error message and run is a
postscript operator that executes a file contents.

our linux machine, 8.70 and

In the past I experimented with postscript. I used to write PS code
directly in my text editor and interpret it by ghostscript so I know
how the error messages look like.
