lua_Alloc alternative recommendations?

[Graham Wakefield <lists@...>]

Hi all -

I'm using Lua in a high priority thread (for audio DSP), and I'm  
having occasional crashes during the lua_realloc calls; I checked in  
PiL (p294) that I can install a different allocator to avoid using  
free/realloc etc, which I assume is the cause of the crash.  I  
wondered if anybody on the list has recommendations for an  
alternative allocator for this kind of situation.

Thanks
