require("ffi")

[David Given <dg@...>]

Maybe it's late, maybe I'm just not seeing something, but right now this
is really puzzling me.

This is with luajuit beta6. Each of these is a new instance of the Lua
interpreter.

Fair enough, this is a new style module which returns the module
instance rather than installing it in the global environment.

> ffi = require("ffi")
> =ffi
table: 0xb76e4a58

Yup, that works. But, because I'm an old-school Lua programmer, I don't
like globals, so I try to put this in a local variable...

> local ffi = require("ffi")
> =ffi
nil

Huh?

Does anyone know what's going on here?
