[XeTeX] Can't compile Chinese in Mountain Lion OS X

I use TeXShop (v3.11) to run XeTeX on a Mac Mini. A large book project
containing Chinese suddenly failed to compile with the message
** WARNING ** Unable to read OpenType/TrueType Unicode cmap table.
** WARNING ** Failed to load ToUnicode CMap for font "STKaiti"
** ERROR ** Invalid glyph index (gid 13383)
Output file removed.
Error 256 (driver return code) generating output;
file chitest.pdf may not be valid.
Just before this problem appeared, I upgraded the OS to Mac OSX 10.8,
Mountain Lion. (The upgrade includes several new Chinese fonts, which is
why I was anxious for the upgrade.)
I used a test file to reproduce the error, which doesn't seem to occur if
the font contains a modest number of glyphs, say a few thousand or less.
It is a problem for large fonts (like STKaiti) with more than 32k
characters.
Can anyone shed light on this situation, and what to do to about it? Many
thanks...
