Compile with debugging and GDB JIT API enabled. Then attach gdb to
the running process and interrupt it and continue a few times.
That should give you an idea where or why it gets stuck.

Consider narrowing it down to the LuaJIT commit that caused the
problem. See: git bisect.

I'm sorry, but from past experience this doesn't really work.
Lesley found some problems in the ARM port that surfaced only with
GSL shell: for every issue, I needed an isolated test case (that
works with the pure LuaJIT command line) before I was able to
track down the problem successfully.
