Hi Taco and Hans I was typesetting the manual of a software developed by me using ConTeXt while the problem occurred.

I am not sure whether it is a bug of LuaTeX or ConTeXt. the output of pdftex 1.40.3 seems fine using the same output file described below. --input file \starttext THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED ``AS IS'', WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
