Re: [ANN] Lua 5.2.3 (rc1) now available

[Ulrich Schmidt <u.sch.zw@...>]

Hi all.
I detected a strange error in lua5.2.2 and tried 5.2.3 with same result:

I ran the testsuite "lua-5.2.2-tests". In "literals.lua" lua errors out. 
I investigated the error and wrote this demonstration:

--8x-----------------------------------------------------[bug.lua]---
a = "0123456789"
b = ""
ok = true
while ok do
  local i = string.len(b)
  print(i, i-(""..i))
  assert((i-(""..i)) == 0, "string.len() result not int!")
  b = b..a
end
--8x-----------------------------------------------------------------

I am not shure its related to my Pelles-C Compiler. I already disabled 
all Compiler Optimisation to be save.

Where should i start looking at? Or is it a real bug?

Greetings.
Ulrich.
