Breaking infinite loops / stopping code execution from C

[read.beyond.data@...]

Hi there....

I was just wondering if there is any way to immediately stop Lua execution, 
say, if some user scripts enter an infinite loop, for example, so that the 
interpreter state is/can be restored to resume execution
after the script got edited. There should be some function call available 
in the api that tells Lua to end execution on the fly, so that scripts can 
be terminated from C.I'd really appreciate some help with this. Thanks in 
advance.
