How do I report a bug in Lua?

Please check whether it has been already reported (and probably fixed). Try also posting to the mailing list: someone else might have come across the same problem and have a fix or an explanation. You may want to search the archives to see whether it has been discussed before. If all that fails to shed light on your problem, please contact the Lua team. Before reporting a bug, try to identify a “minimal” program that exhibits the bug. This makes it much easier to reproduce and track down the bug. Also, read Simon Tatham’s essay on How to Report Bugs Effectively.

You may want to search the archives to see whether it has been discussed before. If all that fails to shed light on your problem, please contact the Lua team. Before reporting a bug, try to identify a “minimal” program that exhibits the bug. This makes it much easier to reproduce, document, and track down the bug.
