The Emergency GC patch makes it safe to call the Lua garbage collector after a 
memory allocation has failed.  This allows the garbage collector to free some 
memory so that the failed allocation can be retried.  The patch also add 
support for setting a limit on how much memory Lua scripts can allocate.

This new release fixes some more EGC related bugs.

Here is the new patch:
