RE: I need your help! C++ exception in coroutine Crashes.

Do you handle the exception in the same function or someplace outside?

It sounds to me like you did a generic lua_call in the main thread
(instead of lua_resume). When Lua catches the error, and no error
handler was set for that thread, it will exit the main application.
You should implement a panic handler to check if this is the case.
