Re: [ANN] LPeg 0.11

Hi!

Upgrading to 0.11 unfortunately caused a seg fault for me. After some
hunting I found that the pattern causing the problem was the LPeg
parser for Moonscript. I've uploaded an butchered standalone version
of the parser here:

http://nordman.org/tmp/lpeg_0_11_segfault.lua

Simply running this with lua <file> reproduces the seg fault for me
(tried with latest LuaJIT as well as Lua 5.1.5). The resulting trace
is this:

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

This is on Linux x86_64, using gcc version 4.7.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro
4.7.2-2ubuntu1). Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Cheers,
