I forgot to mention that this bug only happens when the \XeTeXdefaultencoding line is present. Commenting it fixes compilation (even for larger files). When present, XeTeX seems to segfault on the next line.

Do you know a patch for this? This problem still occurs with the latest sources in the TeXLive svn repo.

I tried recompiling the binaries from the PKGBUILD with debugging CFLAGS, but gdb said the error comes from the C code generated from the WEB files, and they are not really readable.
