OK, let the fun begin: the new alpha is a bit picky about fonts. A run  
with Microsoft's TimesNewRoman font (ttf) doesn't produce a pdf.  
Compilation doesn't stop; in the log, these are the last lines:

load otf | loading: /Users/tas/texmf/fonts/truetype/tas/times/ 
TimesNewRoman.ttf
load otf | warning: The following table(s) in the font have been

FontForge will rename it.

Similar result with Bitstream Charter; here, however, I get a number  
of errors on the console:

fontnames | globbing path /Users/tas/Library/Fonts/**.otf
luatex(44696) malloc: *** error for object 0x920c504: Non-aligned  
pointer being freed
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
luatex(44696) malloc: *** error for object 0x920c01c: Non-aligned  
pointer being freed

and so on...

This is with
This is luaTeX, Version snapshot-0.32.0

and

ConTeXt  ver: 2009.01.07 00:35 MKIV  fmt: 2009.1.7  int: english/english

All best
