Infinite loop work-around.
; Bookmarks : XeTeX uses dvipdfmx's specials for references, bookmarks, and the like. ConTeXt uses some of these specials "out of spec", and may result in some strangeness in certain documents.
; PDF Literals : Because XeTeX relies on Apple's APIs to create PDFs, it is unable to take advantage of certain specials and other types of features that use native (literal) PDF commands.
; Occasionally Explodes : Once in a while, XeTeX will fall into an infinite loop. I'm not entirely sure what circumstances trigger it (probably an overfull box), but it can be stopped with <tt>killall xetex</tt> in a terminal window. --This has now been traced to a setting in [[User:Adam|Adamtexmf.cnf]] 15:17, 26 Nov 2004 where <tt>extra_mem_bot.context</tt> or <tt>extra_mem_bot</tt> is set to a non-zero value. If you encounter the infinite loop, then check your texmf.cfg file(CETs)to eradicate this value.
