Probably exit() it the only right thing to do in this case, I agree.
My problem was, that I run many interpreters in separate threads and such
exit() exits entire program.
But - don't bother.  As you said, this happens when I call API from C.
Actually this was "indexed expression not a table".  I've added proper
checking of parameters before calling lua_settable - that's enough for me.
