Tried the patch -- doesn't seem to ork. When I run luaotfload-tool 
--update --force, I now get an error about database not found, and a 
bunch of other error messages:


... (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\scripts\luaotfload\luaotfload-tool.lua:135: module 'luaotfload-database' not found:
	no field package.preload['luaotfload-database']
