"Too many open files" errors with xelatex

[lvjr]

• I have read and acknowledged this HOWTO article:
  Submitting a MiKTeX problem report

I am using the latest miktex 22.3 on Windows 10. The following example compiles well with pdflatex and lualatex but causes fatal error with xelatex. Also it compiles well with xelatex in TeX Live 2022.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularray}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\newcommand\mytab{$\text{\begin{tblr}{l}cell\end{tblr}}$}
\begin{document}

Here is the log file:

Sorry, but xelatex.exe did not succeed.

The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:

Also here is the xelatex.log:
