I've figured out the problem. A simple misunderstanding on my part. I didn't
realize that luaL_loadfile doesn't actually execute the chunk, and that you
need to do a lua_pcall to do this. I finally figured this out after taking a
look at the lua_dofile source in lauxlib. Thanks very much for everyones help.

Thanks, Philip Bock
