[luatex] Interactive use: texput glitch

[Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard]

Hi,

I sometimes run *tex interactively for quick tests, and just noticed the
following glitch: if the first line of input writes to the log, luatex tries to
open '.log' (which will fail with the default setting of web2c/texlive, btw).
pdfTeX and vanilla TeX get it right (see below).

I think it's quite harmless, but still report in case you'd like to fix it.

Manuel.
