Lua Port parsing fails on HEAD

[Joshua Root]

No worries. To answer your question, yes you can and often should file 
tickets for issues found on the master branch. There was already one for 
this.

Things will sometimes temporarily break on master. If there are known 
issues noted in recent commit messages, then opening a ticket for them 
isn't necessary. And of course always make sure you can reproduce the 
issue with the very latest HEAD.

But in general, the sooner an issue is reported, the better.
