It seems that some of the tests have a problem closing out when Lua is tearing itself down.

32-bit machine uname -a: Linux pinetrail 3.0.0-13-generic #22-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 2 13:25:36 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
64-bit machine uname -a: Linux ionic 3.0.0-13-generic #22-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 2 13:27:26 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have tried GDB on a 32-bit and 64-bit machine and it complains that it cannot track the threads.
```
Starting program: /usr/bin/lua5.1 tests/errhangtest.lua
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Cannot find new threads: generic error
```

It seems that each of the tests have a chance of this hang. If you know any trick for managing this generic error, let me know.
