The manual still says these functions should be called with luaL_requiref:

http://www.lua.org/work/doc/manual.html#6

The list archive is littered with advice not to call luaopen_xxx

Now you can call them yourself if you want, but part of a
lua_CFunction contract is the returned int, which you blatantly ignore
in your demo code.
