I'm one of the few people working with LuaJava and Android, probably
the de facto maintainer of LJ as well.  I've had that showstopper bug
in my sights for a while.

I reckon we can sort it out within the week; would that be good enough?

Yes, there are JVM implementations of the Lua VM, but what I
appreciate about LJ is that it's very easy to bind to JVM code - at a
cost of time and garbage generated.  The last one turns out to be the
crucial thing with Android, and I've been able to bring down the
garbage cost considerably.
