Hi Norbert,

Fair enough.  I'm not sure whether patching sources is a great idea,
either.

The specific bug of interest to me was
http://tracker.luatex.org/view.php?id=984 which gives rise to some
very ugly integrals, which we've had real issues with at work.  It was
addressed in version 0.99.

Best wishes,
