i found why:  when in loop, the callback can break out by raising an
error, which isn't propagated (because of the Lua-C-Lua callchain),
but i couldn't decide if re-raise it or signal as nil,msg; in the end
i chose to raise all library-originated errors but return
callback-originated ones.

i've just changed everything to nil,msg style :-)
