Either it's a bug in XeTeX itself, which I'd like to track down and  
fix, or else there's something about your files that is causing the  
loop/recursion. What encoding are your files? What line endings? (It  
shouldn't matter, but...)

Would you be willing to send me enough of your material to reproduce  
the problem (off-list email is fine)? If you can cut it down to a  
small example, so much the better.
