Re: lua_yield

[Karel Tuma <ktuma@...>]

as a script termination only in extreme conditions - when you've
something doing coroutine.resume() you have to return to (dispatcher)
if you did not lua_resume() the function from which
you're yielding in the first place .. well, then you'll effectively
"terminate" your script with an error:
lua: attempt to yield across metamethod/C-call boundary
