Oooops... my bad... thanks :)

By the way, would it be safe to, er, redefine the error() function to 
not stop the interpreter?

I somewhat understand the motivations behind the current behavior as 
explained in PIL 8.4 Error Handling and Exceptions, but... in my 
case... the Lua interpreter _is_ the fabled "application program 
[doing] the handling"... and I fail to see any concrete benefits in 
having the interpreter just call it quit each time a puny error is 
raised.

In short, can I safely redefine error() to my liking?

TIA :)

Cheers
