This has been discussed lately (starting with
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2010-11/msg01129.html ), and the
conclusions were that:

- Lanes required lua_dump() to transfer functions to the new thread
- LuaJIT 2.0 does not support bytecode dumping

So this didn't work. Lanes has recently been modified to support
starting of new threads by compiling source string directly:
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2010-12/msg00098.html

So go ahead and try Lanes 2.0.9, it should work in LuaJIT 2.0.
