luajit-2.0.0-beta6 crash

[Henk Boom <henk@...>]

Hi, I just tried compiling LuaJIT2, turning on debugging symbols as
well as asserts and valgrind support in the Makefile. I haven't
managed to get it to work reliably yet, and I feel like I must be
doing something wrong to hit problems so quickly in a program that
many people are using without problem.

The quick summary is that it seems to work when run in valgrind, but
not outside. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 on an x84_64 intel processor, and
get the same results with beta5, which is the only other version I
have installed. Here are the full results:

----------------------------------------
henk@invincible-spell:~$ cat badfib.lua
function badfib(n)
  return n < 2 and n or badfib(n-1) + badfib(n-2)
end

print(badfib(tonumber((...))))
