to call upvalue 'log' (a nil value)


As mentioned three weeks ago there is one font I could determine which  
is provoking crashes every time: URW:GaramondNo8-Ita:2001, a TrueType  
font from the urwfonts-1.41 archive (having it since many years). You  
can find it here: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/ghostscript/AFPL/GhostPCL/ 
.

Another experience, which I could not reproduce, was:

	luaotfload | loading font: Garamond.ttf
	Bus error (core dumped)
	root 259 /\ l /Library/Fonts/Extrafonts/
	total 418560

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something  
completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete  
fools.
