As documented here:

http://www.lua.org/manual/5.0/manual.html#3.20

Threads start with the same globals, but that can be changed. See here:

http://www.lua.org/manual/5.0/manual.html#3.12

I.e: You will want to use lua_replace to replace the globals table for
each thread. You may or may not want to play some clever tricks to
make them share certain variables.
