Well, they are. Under which circumstances it is failing to release your
objects??

For instance, this test script instances a COM object of mine, which
shows a message box when it is finally released, and it works fine:

require"luacom"

a = luacom.CreateObject("foo.bar")

when the script ends, I got my message box as intended.
