LuaJIT 2.0.5: Strange crash (probably my fault but ..)

[Nicolas <nicolas@...>]

Hi,

I'm toying with the idea of switching to luajit2 for my game, I
resolved most issues (the main one being the lanes incompatiblity
discussed previously and the no-luadump function which I'll fix ..
someway ) but then this bites me:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I do multiple lua calls from my C code but it always fails in that
spot, the only difference I can see is that I get one return whereas in
others I get none.
I tried to return nothing but it's the same.

I can not paste the whole lua source as the game is several thousand
files, but I see no obvious reasons this can fail (and not fail in
standard lua 5.1.4).

Is there something obvious that I am missing? Am I being stupid?

For reference, my docall method is as follow, nothing fancy:

static int traceback (lua_State *L) {
	lua_Debug ar;
	int n;
	n = 0;
	printf("Lua Error: %s\n", lua_tostring(L, 1));
	while(lua_getstack(L, n++, &ar)) {
		lua_getinfo(L, "nSl", &ar);
		printf("\tAt %s:%d %s\n", ar.short_src, ar.currentline,
ar.name?ar.name:""); }
	return 1;
}

int docall (lua_State *L, int narg, int nret)
{
	int status;
	int base = lua_gettop(L) - narg;  /* function index */
	lua_pushcfunction(L, traceback);  /* push traceback function */
	lua_insert(L, base);  /* put it under chunk and args */
	status = lua_pcall(L, narg, nret, base);
	lua_remove(L, base);  /* remove traceback function */
	/* force a complete garbage collection in case of errors */
	if (status != 0) lua_gc(L, LUA_GCCOLLECT, 0);
	return status;
}

Thanks
