I also think so, but it does not crash when run manually.

Sure - no crash.

I think I have them all, as controlled by default-setup.

With

fmtutil-sys --all &>~/fmtutil.log

There's also no crash.

But there are some issues - e.g.:


fmtutil: running `pdftex -ini   -jobname=amstex -progname=amstex

And more.


It would be really helpful to be able to find the stackdumps produced  
during setup. I don't care that much about the TeX-errors.
