In addition to the recent xetex bug-fix, I have just checked in a fix
for xdvipdfmx to resolve a stack-smashing (buffer overflow) issue that
could arise when printing warnings about unrecognized \special
commands (svn r.10149), if the special contained non-ASCII characters.
ChoF, this affects the original dvipdfmx as well as xdvipdfmx, as it
is in the print_error routine from dvipdfmx. I have taken the liberty
of applying the fix to dvipdfmx in texlive as well; here is the change
I made:

Please verify that it is OK, and apply to the upstream dvipdfmx
sources. Thanks.
