Thanks,

Yes... this helps.

LuaTask allocates TASK_ENTRY memory in TASK_SLOTS_STEP * 
sizeof(TASK_ENTRY) chunks.
Problem arises when it reallocates memory to grow one step more.

The size of TASK_ENTRY structure is 52 bytes on Linux.
As a workaround, you can set TASK_SLOTS_STEP larger enough in order to 
avoid reallocation.

It's time to work on 1.6.2 ... :-(
