_ALERT is present in Lua 5.0 for compatibility, but it's not part of the core,
it's simply a protocol that lua.c uses.

The ony way to catch error messages is on the C side. Try lua_pcall and your
own error function.
Is there a 'generic' way to do this, and show debug information? I remember the i/o library from lua4 would redefine _ERRORMESSAGE to print the error and a traceback.. Is there anything similar on the lua5 libraries? (currently I'm pushing a function that prints debug.traceback, but I ask just in case). 

thanks..
