In my application, threads are handled entirely through C code, not 
Lua. I use the C functions, lua_newthread() and lua_resume(), to 
create and resume threads, rather than the Lua methods, 
coroutine.create and coroutine.resume. Assuming that threads are 
never referenced explicitly in my Lua code, what do I need to do on 
the C side of things to ensure that all references to a thread are 
gone?
