It would be useful to know what platform and what compiler version.

These things matter; for instance, with the clang that comes with the
new Ubuntu LTS a simple f:close() will cause a segfault on release
builds.  I haven't found any issues with gcc, however, except the new
default of 4.6 is to leave out stack frames, which caused trouble on
Windows executable builds.
