Current beta MkIV seems to have a bug in the Lua function io.lines:
btw, it's a lua issue, not related to luatex ...

local myfile = "myfile.txt"

for myline in io.lines(myfile) do
     logs.report("test 1",myline)
end

for myline in io.lines(myfile,3) do
     logs.report("test 2",myline)
end

for myline in io.lines(myfile,1) do
     logs.report("test 2",myline)
end

for myline in io.lines(myfile,0) do
     logs.report("test 2",myline)
end

for myline in io.lines(myfile,-1) do
     logs.report("test 2",myline)
end

the zero case loops and the last case gives a "memory allocation error: 
block too big" so these can be considered buglets in lua
