Ok, solved.

The last luaL_dostring should be replaced with:

   status = luaL_loadstring(L, CHUNCK_2);
   if (status != 0) {
     printf("syntax error in CHUNK_2\n");
     return EXIT_FAILURE;
   }

   status = lua_pcall(L, 0, 0, 0);
   msg = lua_tolstring(L, 1, &len);
   printf("execution status 2: %i:%s\n", status, msg);


since luaL_dostring always returns 1 in case of errors.
