Hello, Recently, I have run into strange error messages using plain luatex. I have narrowed it down to some minimal examples shown below with their log. I have tried luatex provided by texlive 2011 and a build from the latest svn trunk. They work fine with pdftex. They also work fine (apart from luatex being unable to ship the huge page) when removing the \font\temp=... line in the loop. In case you wonder, my intent is not to put 10k lines on one page, it just simplifies the examples. I also get the errors when spreading out the text across multiple pages. Can you put me in CC of the replies as I'm not subscribed to the list? Thanks.
