Thanks Liam

Any idea where "inf" is generated? I have done a grep of the source code and can't find it defined anywhere.

I presume this is something to do with the way my build is handling exceptions - I see from the code that  LUAI_TRY maps to try in C++ builds, or it could be because I am building Lua as a dll
