Yeah, that one. **Totally** my fault and nothing at all to do with LuaRocks. Between help from Ignacio Burgueño (via email) and Hisham Muhammad [3] (via a bug report [4]) I was able to isolate the issue to a Lua [5] module I installed 3½ years ago that LuaRocks will use if it's installed.

The only problem—the module in question was compiled with some … um … let's say “questionable compiler options” (specified by yours truly).

Ugh.

Anyway, that issue has been resolved.

Sheesh.
