Hi Luis,
Could you check the patch?
It would be great to have it in trunk and probably it could be included in
1.0.3, too.

> Now the pointer itself won't be NULLified, instead we track the pointers with
> their expiry state in structs in the outstanding_stuff list.
> The Lua objects refers to those structs instead of the actual pointers and
> checks the expiry state of the pointers before accessing them.
> The pointers are marked expired when the dissection of the frame is finished
> and the allocated struct is freed by Lua's garbage collector.
>
> If the garbage collector hits the struct when it holds a not expired pointer,
> it marks it as expired (that means we don't have any object in Lua referring to
> the pointer) and the struct will be freed at the end of the dissection of the
> frame.
