On debian 7:
➜ all-distance git:(master) lua -v
Lua 5.1.5 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
➜ all-distance git:(master) lua alldistances.lua
...
830
831
832
lua: not enough memory
Next trying lua 5.2 (after some apt-get juggling):
➜ all-distance git:(master) lua -v
Lua 5.2.1 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
➜ all-distance git:(master) lua alldistances.lua
...
10923
...
and counting (no crash yet)
So it seems that either lua 5.2 received some changes to the garbage
collector, or it's a fluke. Since you couldn't reproduce it either I would
go with gc changes.
