My list has a few more:

- lvm.c: luaV_concat() munges numbers before calling __concat:
    http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2006-12/msg00495.html
    http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2006-12/msg00496.html
  (the referenced patch may need some tuning)

- etc/strict.lua fails when lua_setglobal() is called outside of
  a lua_call():
    http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2006-11/msg00119.html

- The Windows loadlib problems (GetModuleFileNameA, current
  directory in search path) are still unresolved.

Minor stuff:

- etc/lua.pc has R= 5.1.1, too.

- luaconf.h: typo: 'luaL_registry' -> 'luaL_register'

Plea: add an (automated) bug/feature tracker for the Lua core
(use LuaForge). I'm wearing out. ;-)

Bye,
     Mike
