The string "Internal error" appears nowhere in the source code of
LuaJIT. Also, a Lua stack overflow would show with a lower case
error message ("stack overflow").

I suggest you look for the component that generates the error.

Print the stack level at strategic points. If it's actually the
Lua stack, then print the result of lua_gettop(L).
