Sorry - invalid local indices.

Thank you! I understand my problem now. My loop iterated over indices
1-infinite because the results of the lua_getlocal haven't been fetched
directly but after the loop. With the changed behaviour the growing stack
prevents the loop from aborting as every new stackitem creates a new local
index.
