Re: abort a lua_newthread from C and re-use its lua_State?

That's really too bad; here's my vote for adding the thread reset API.

So, if I can't re-use the thread, how can I at least free it to allow

its resources and variables allocated to be collected?  Is this

possible?

If there are no references to it, and it has references to things

otherwise unreferenced, then those things will get garbage

collected along with the thread.

So just delete any reference to it which you have and it

will all get cleaned up.
