lua_newthread and lua_close

[Graham Wakefield <lists@...>]

Hi,

I'm having some hard to understand behavior; I create new threads  
using lua_newthread, and lua_resume them periodically from C++.   
However, I may wish to at some point terminate a thread before it has  
completed; I tried calling lua_close() on the thread's lua_State, but  
it seems to trigger garbage collection prematurely in other threads.   
I also tried setting the thread to nil in the global environment, but  
this doesn't trigger collection.

Is there a way to terminate a yielded thread, freeing any resources  
it was (uniquely) using, whilst leaving other (related) lua states  
intact?

Thanks.
