This can be done using so-called references.  Have a look at section 5.14
"references to Lua objects" in the Lua 4 documentation.  Basically you do a
lua_ref(state, 1) call to pop the top-of-stack and obtain a reference to it
(make sure your table is at tos.)  A call to lua_getref(state, ref) will
push the table back on to the stack.  Use lua_unref to drop the reference if
you no longer need it.
