Hello, Daniel.

I'm working on the same approach. I've developed a port of Lua to
Linux kernel (called lunatik), with the purpose of extend it
dynamically, on my undergraduate final project (December/2008) under
the guidance of professor Roberto Ierusalimschy.

I'm very curious about your project: did you already write any
application? where exactly are you having trouble with
synchronization?

Cheers,
