I cannot reproduce the crash on XP.
But it was known that western XP seemed different
than japanese one, so my example may not be helpful...

texlua wrapper.tlu works fine for the following with AR9:

-- wrapper.tlu
kpse.set_program_name('texlua')
command={}
-- both work with and without the next line
command[0]='texlua'
command[1]='texlua'
command[2]='e:/send/program.tlu'
command[3]="e:/send/pic.pdf"
os.spawn(command)


-- program.tlu
str='start '..'""'..' "'..arg[1]..'"'
os.execute(str)

Best,
Akira
