Note that the change was the result of a bug in Lua 5.1:

  http://www.lua.org/bugs.html#5.1.2-4

The way the bug was fixed in 5.1.3 was an ugly hack (with a new function
in the API 'lua_setlevel' that has no reasonable documentation). I do not
think that would be a good choice for 5.2.

As you are already using a non-standard Lua compilation, maybe you can
simply change the limit LUAI_MAXCCALLS in luaconf.h to a much higher
value.
