[XeTeX] [XeLaTeX-MikTeX 2.7] compilation error with french characters

[Alain PIERRE]

Hi,

After playing a while with LaTeX I switched to XeLaTeX
which worked fine as long as composing english text, however
when swithcing to french characters...

---
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}

\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}

\usepackage[frenchb]{babel}
\selectlanguage{frenchb}

%\usepackage{frenchle}

\setmainfont{Verdana}

\begin{document}

les minuscules: à, â, æ, ç, é, è, ê, ë, î, ï, ô, œ, ù, û, ü, ÿ
les majuscules: À, Â, Æ, Ç, É, È, Ê, Ë, Î, Ï, Ô, Œ, Ù, Ü, Ÿ

\end{document}
---

compilation is interrupted with the following message (translated
from french)...

"xelatex.exe encountered a problem and must close. Blablabla..."

See french-babel_log.txt in attachment.

When using frenchle instead of babel, compilation is also interrupted.

See french-frenchle_log.txt in attachment.

What's the solution please ?

Thanks on beforehand,
Alan
