- Subject: dofile(nil) hangs forever on OSX

This is certainly a stupid thing to do, but nonetheless I don't think
it should hang a process. Try the following:
Lua 5.1.4 Copyright (C) 1994-2008 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> dofile(nil)
This was on OSX (10.5.x). IMHO it should check for a nil arg and
simply return with an error like dofile('') does:
Lua 5.1.4 Copyright (C) 1994-2008 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> dofile('')
cannot open : No such file or directory
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'dofile'
stdin:1: in main chunk
[C]: ?
>
please consider fixing this for a future version.
