Which reminds me this news:

http://www.heise.de/security/meldung/Rueckwaerts-wird-ein-Virus-draus-1242127.html
(german with a link to an english article)

So to give you some more headaches: Did someone try what happens (in
luatex) with file names which do contain 0x202E (right-to-left
override) und 0x202B (right-to-left embedding)?

(Personally I'm a strict ASCII-with-no-spaces-file-names-user and
only expect "lualatex \def\myflag{true}\input file" to work
correctly.)
