If you have LuaSocket handy, try this:

require "lanes"
require "xbdm"
require "socket"

local function laneFunc()
 	require "xbdm"
	require "socket"
 	socket.sleep(5)
end

local lanegen = lanes.gen( "package", laneFunc)
local mylane = lanegen()
socket.sleep(10)

It should call __gc now. I think that in your example, the lanes are 
just terminated by the OS.
