From one of your previous messages, I understand that it would *not*

It does - I messed up the web2c string search in the luatex binary;
there are two strings. The right one seems to be:
Hello,
for openSUSE there are now beta TeX Live 2008 packages available

Fink, who does also the normal openSUSE packages.]
The question is how the ConTeXt with LuaTeX should be best handled. By

do you test the latest binaries or the already outdated texlive ones?
That was TeX Live, though I don't know whether it is the SVN version or

Can you incorporate the following patch in your cont-tmf.zip? It should
work with most Linux systems and it should not harm on other systems.
