I apologize first that I did not follow this thread more carefully.

Second, you are absolutely correct that this does not work for tables. I
don't know why I never noticed it. I was so happy long ago that it
worked with userdata that I assumed that it also worked with tables, and
when I switched methods I never even considered that the "__gc"
metamethod would not be invoked for collected tables.

I've looked back through my code repository and see that I did not even
check in the version with userdata. My Lua code is used for interactive
test purposes and not for our customers. I did not notice the loss in
memory.

Scary.
