.  It is a bit confusing maybe...


Ok I am confused. The  LUA_ENVIRONINDEX according to the manual is
"The environment of the running C function is always at pseudo-index
LUA_ENVIRONINDEX." (You will note that this the one refernce to it in
the
manual).
Given that the code never sets LUA_ENVIRONINDEX I assume
that it is equal to LUA_GLOBALINDEX.

In this case it was a running *Lua* function in another thread..

Yes, that's what it is intended to do: change the environment of the
*executing* C function.  To change the environment use lua_replace(L1,
LUA_ENVIRONINDEX).  It is a bit confusing maybe...
