And it's not safe to do so, even in interpreted mode. You must not use any VM function (internal or not) inside a signal handler, except lua_sethook() (but that doesn't help you here). BTW: I consider posting a 600 line file from the distribution to be an excessive waste of list bandwidth. Please don't do that again. A small diff would have served the purpose just as well. Thank you for your consideration! --Mike
