Sorry for forget to attach a test file.
Below is a minimal test file.
\documentclass{book}
\title{foo}
\author{foo}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}
Later I found that the problem seems to be related to the file name. While the
file name contains space, lualatex fails, otherwise it performs good. eg, with
the minimal test file as above, if I name the finale "a b.tex", in terminal,
The following is produced
$ cat a\ b.tex
\documentclass{book}
\title{foo}
\author{foo}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}
$ lualatex a\ b.tex
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.60.1-2010052109 (TeX Live 2010/pretest) (rev
