I'm very sorry for the false signal, which was not my original
intention at all. Just trying to be helpful ;)
I was just following the reasoning that the LuaJIT v2.1's JIT compiler
is much stronger now, especially with the new "trace stitching"
feature, so we'd expect deep hidden bugs in the JIT compiler to expose
nowadays :) For our Lua apps running for several years, for example,
it was mostly the dead-solid interpreter running and we never had any
issues in production with LuaJIT 2.0.x :)
But yeah, this is much less likely for the 2.0.2 release whose JIT
compiler is still relatively functionally limited.
Sorry again!
