Thanks Mike!

Getting rid of the prints and putting the line 

    local io, tostring = io, tostring

at the top of the module where the problem seems to happen fixes it.  (I'm not io.writing anything anywhere, or calling tostring)

The lines

   local a, b = 1, 2

in the same place also fix it.  The lines

    --local a, b = 1, 2
    local a, b = 1, 2

do not fix the problem.

I'm not running any debug hook or luacov, I do have a version of strict.lua running, but turning on or off does not seem to have an effect.

I'm mystified, but still happy to believe it's my mistake.

Cheers,
Geoff
