You should not use blocks in code like that. Every function called by Lua
is automatically enclosed in a block. Usually, you need to use explicit
blocks only when C calls Lua in a loop, because then results can accumulate
and eventually the stack may fill up.

*If* you use them, then you must put any push for results after the last
endblock.
