newotf, problem with .ttc fonts

It appears that the newotf mechanism does not handle .ttc fonts. The 
following MWE uses fonts found on Windows 8.1:

      \usemodule     [newotf]
    %% the following fonts, all .ttc, fail in the same way:
    % C:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/font-oup.lua:651:
    bad argument #1 to '(for generator)' (table expected, got nil)
    %\definefont    [testfont] [MSMincho sa 1]
    %\definefont    [testfont] [MingLiU sa 1]
    %\definefont    [testfont] [Gulim sa 1]
    %\definefont    [testfont] [Batang sa 1]
    %\definefont    [testfont] [msyh sa 1]  % Microsoft YaHei
    %\definefont    [testfont] [msjh sa 1]  % Microsoft JhengHei
    %\definefont    [testfont] [SimSun sa 1]
    %% the following, none .ttc, work:
    %\definefont    [testfont] [arialuni sa 1] % Arial Unicode MS
    %\definefont    [testfont] [yugothic sa 1] % Yu Gothic
    %\definefont    [testfont] [yumin sa 1] % Yu Mincho
    %\definefont    [testfont] [kaiu sa 1] % DFKai-SB Regular
    %\definefont    [testfont] [simfang sa 1] % FangSong Regular
    %\definefont    [testfont] [simhei sa 1] % SimHei Regular
      \definefont    [testfont] [simkai sa 1] % KaTi Regular

    \starttext
       Confucius’ {\em Analects} ({\testfont 論語} {\em LunYu}).
    \stoptext

Without the new module, this works with all of the test fonts.

font-otl.lua, around line 254:

         data = otfreaders.loadfont(filename,sub or 1)

add the "or 1"
