Question about the Lua GC

["Joel Pritchett" <jpritchett@...>]

How does the Lua GC determine whether or not something should be
removed? Is it possible to influence this logic in any way? We have
recently run into a problem where LUA is aggressively removing threads
created via lua_newthread from the state that they were created from
before they have reached completion. The threads are still yielded and
it would be nice if they would be allowed to run to completion.

Thanks in advance,
