My understanding is that what gets pushed on the stack is the pointer to 
the table, not a copy of the table. If you use lua_pushvalue() and 
lua_remove() (as Ashwin suggested) I think you'll get exactly what you 
want (but I might be wrong.)

When in doubt about the stack status I use the StackDump() function that 
Roberto describes in his book, very helpful to trace operations on stack!
