Oh well, unfortunately I can't switch to Lua5; it would reuqire too much
rewrite, and also it has very sparse the documentation available. OK, it
looks great, but I couldn't even find any documentation on how to yield to
C, just saw some Lua source on how to create coroutines; this is not
what I want to do...

I will try to make it to work somehow, perhaps a global Lua stack flush
would help. There is a function called popcallinfo(), that looks suspicious
to me...

Also I will need to be able to load/save a lua_state in the future; This was
probably also done before... Anybody know of a source available?

Sorry if what I'm saying was said thousands of times before :)
