So it seems that there is a problem with a dash followed by a \par when output using tex.sprint. Too complex; you need only a 6-byte input file for the crash. :-)

Of course: With the right format, you can simply say "\crash".

I just meant that

%&luatex --\par

crashes just as easily.

Btw: at BachoTeX they seemed to be a bit worried abut the future of "TeX Beauties and Oddities" since you fix the bugs as soon as one discovers them (which wasn't the case with the old TeX).

So one cannot even demonstrate the weird behaviour any more as it gets fixed in the meantime, before the presentation starts :)

Oh, I don't think that there is any danger of that: for one thing, the main focus of this thing is TeX, not LuaTeX. I think that the vast majority of the entries did not even employ eTeX, and certainly not PDFTeX. There will likely come a point of time when LuaTeX deserves a contest of its own, but that would be a different league altogether. -- David Kastrup
