Re: Refcounting GC

[Mike Ferenduros <mike@...>]

Hi,
I got the latest luarc from subversion, and I'm getting 100% repeatable 
assert fails in various gc-related functions. Manually invoking 
collectgarbage() greatly increases the likelihood of a crash.
Anyhoo, I can try and whittle it down to a minimal test case.
Disclaimer: I'm new to lua, so there's a definite possibility that my 
glue code is doing something dumb.

Cheers,
Mike F
