JFYI.

It has been a while since I properly looked at the Lua source, so
somebody correct me if I am wrong, yet I do not think it is valid to use
lua_next on a userdata. From a quick look at the 5.1 source it would
seem this is correct at least for this version[1] as when api checks are
enabled it will by default assert due to the ttistable check.
