Are you really sure, that for such "application freeze problem" it
would be useful to restart with direct RAM/stack copy?

... Usually for such "emergency problems" a good software should have
some automatic "data backup" on disk, which will then restart at the
"crash point", but with fresh software start / fresh RAM/stack
start... .

Of course it is quite an effort to program such "backup possibility"
to a software, but trying to "automate" such backup programming in the
"Lua system" sounds too challenging, I am frightened.

(Lua is very nice to program an environment which is very "stupid
user" proof, e. g. using such "sandbox programming techniques". But
the "fool proof side" for "any hardware or software system errors"
usually are really a thing the programmer has to think of carefully...
