Hi Mike,

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, and this email is a
query about what I should be looking for.
The error msg is:

The problem looks to be with Ghostscript.
You may be using different versions, so check that first.
I'm curious why Ghostscript is being run at all. Is it trying to convert
a PostScript or EPS graphic, when you intended to use a PDF directly?
Maybe one of the users has a different version of the graphics package,
or even just a configuration file, in a personal location? Does one of
the users have a pre-converted .pdf version of the graphic, but the
other only has access to an .eps original?

------------
Signal 13 is "Write on a pipe with no reader, Broken pipe."
I believe the crash is happening at the point xelatex is trying to embed an
existing PDF.
Yes. That PDF presumably has some text in it, using Times font as
TimesNewRomanPSMT .
Others used to using XeTeX under Linux may be able to offer a more detailed
understanding
of the specific kind of error.
If I'm right (we're going to verify it tomorrow), the command that crashes is
----------
\imgexists{list_intonation.pdf}{{\imgevalsize{list_intonation.pdf}{\includegraphics[width=\imgwidth,height=\imgheight,keepaspectratio=true]{list_intonation.pdf}}}}{}
---------
Googling this:
xetex OR xelatex "rangecheck in --run--"
brings up about six msgs from 2011, which seem to be the same thread, and
afaict are irrelevant.
We're running the version of xetex that came with TeXLive 2014
(3.14159265-2.6-0.99991) on Linux.
Any suggestions as to what I should be looking for?
