Without checking the details of your code: this looks like a overflow of
the Lua stack. You'll want to place some calls to lua_checkstack (or
luaL_checkstack) somewhere in there.
Also consider compiling your code with `-DLUA_USE_APICHECK` when
testing: this will make it more likely for you to catch errors like
these, as Lua won't always crash even though the stack may already be
overflowing.
Cheers,
Albert
