RE: calling script with dobuffer doesnt work

[John Batty <JPB@...>]

I saw a problem like this, which turned out to be because I had an EOF
character at the end of my file.
[I could load the file using lua_dofile, but not lua_dobuffer.]

I fixed it by modifying my code to add a check for a terminating EOF,
and if there is one I simply pass a smaller len value to lua_dobuffer
to truncate the EOF.

i already did that. the interesting thing is, that only lua_dobuffer does
not work, lua_dofile does!

thank you anyway,
