Hi,

I just tried the following:

mpg@siegel:~% echo '\\bye' > foobar mpg@siegel:~% pdftex foobar This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.1415926-1.40.9 (Web2C 7.5.7) %&-line parsing enabled. entering extended mode (./foobar ) No pages of output. Transcript written on foobar.log. mpg@siegel:~% luatex foobar This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.25.4-2008071722 (Web2C 7.5.7) ! I can't find file `foobar.tex'. <*> foobar

Looks like luatex doesn't want to eat files without extensions, while pdftex accepts them. Is it a feature?

I would like to say feature, but that endagers backward compatibily, so it is actually a bug ;-) that will be fixed in the next release. Best wishes, Taco
