Sorry for the delay. I've caught a really bad cold recently :(

The good news is that I've just fixed this issue in ngx_lua's git HEAD:

    https://github.com/chaoslawful/lua-nginx-module

Alternatively, you can try out the new release candidate tarball,
which also includes this fix:

    https://github.com/chaoslawful/lua-nginx-module/tarball/v0.1.6rc4

Please let me know if it works for you :)

Have fun!
