Re: xdvipdfmx fails with some regtests (“Invalid object”)

[Han-Wen Nienhuys]

It looks like this was discussed here:

https://github.com/CTeX-org/forum/issues/29

(it's in Chinese, but google translate does a good job on the text.)

According to the report, it's a bug in xdvipdfmx, and the blank pdf
file is within spec.

I looked at epdf.c, but there was no change in the last 2 years.
