[luatex] Strange behavior of tex.print.

Hi Paul,

> The manual states about tex.print(n, <strings>) that ``if n is not a valid catcode table, then it is ignored, and the currently active catcode regime is used instead.'' However (with catcode table 1 not initialized):

I am not awake yet: isn't this due to the single backslash? \r = 13 so that the chars 97,13,101,... get printed. I can't explain the f before the e, so my attempt is probably wrong.
