Are you linking against lua in your test library, or are you letting
it find the symbols of the already-executing Lua executable?

If you are linking against Lua for your module, you are not doing it
right...  The Lua executable and many tools that use Lua and "might"
use your module are statically linked to Lua and when you link against
it, you cause problems due to slightly mismatched symbols.
