Lua port to mac no issue

Continuing rambling about port of Lua to work chipset...

I just compiled the Lua 5.1 source code for mac, and running it in a similar fashion to the port I'm trying to do at work yields no problems. Works like a charm, actually. So, maybe the startup really is very different when you give the interpreter input from a file and when you give it input form stdin - the former demanding much more memory in the startup phase. But how much (more) memory would you need? I mean, really? I'm still not convinced. This has to be looked at further! Hurry Watson, the game is afoot!
