We are running pre-compiled code. We wanted a way to 'modularize' our 
code.
Basically we are:
1) Getting a pre-compiled buffer area(hashed via an id)
2) running it using lua_dobuffer
3) In the script it may call out to C function which
   will get another piece of pre-compiled code which get executed
(using the same L state passed to the C function)
4) returns to the main 'calling script'

Not sure if this would be any help but I am doing a lua_gettop(L)
and lua_settop(L) before and after the lua_dobuffer just to reset the 
stack(I saw this some where before for fixing memory leaks).

Hope this is enough info
