Thank you for the report!

Internal note: 
I have just moved the update process to a new server. Perhaps I did something 
wrong. We need to check on the server if the synch with the windows binaries 
from Akira(?) works as expected.

Bug description:
Is it possible to distribute a newer Windows luatex binary?

I installed ConTeXt on a Windows XP SP2 system following the instructions at 
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals#Windows under the heading 
"Installation: local & command-line." Then, compiling the traditional test file:

\starttext
Hello, world!
\stoptext

bombed. I am happy to reproduce the errors and attach log files, but to cut to 
the chase it seems that the old Windows luatex binary presently distributed at 
minimals.contextgarden.net doesn't play nice with recent ConTeXt distributions. 
I tried current, alpha, beta, and 2008.10.31, which all failed.

I then reinstalled minimals with --context=beta, grabbed the latest Windows 
luatex binary from http://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=10 (currently beta 
0.30.3) and copied the newer luatex binary over the old one in 
c:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin. I then ran luatools --selfupdate, mtxrun 
--selfupdate, luatools --generate, context --make en. Now the simple test 
document and other more complicated documents compile just fine.
