I found the thread you were referring to [1]. Actually, I was
mistaken. The library I was thinking of was LuaTask [2]. LuaTask
hasn't been updated in ~4 years and it's the library I was having a
lot of problems with.

In any case, I haven't used LuaTask or LuaThread in Lua 5.2.

darn, I got my hopes up when your post said you got it working :-)

And im at lua 5.1 now with no plans to take the project over to 5.2 any time soon.

There's the identically named http://sourceforge.net/projects/luathread/
and lua-llthreads https://github.com/Neopallium/lua-llthreads

Yes, unfortunately they both just use coroutines and not like LuaThread actually gives me simultaneous threads that share a lua state .

Well, if none got LuaThread I guess I'd better look elsewere for a solution. The only other I have seen sofar is lanes/linda.
If anyone has a better suggestion I'm game.

The project is a kind of communication hub connected to anything from 0 to 2k+ users at a time, some kind of multi threading feels like a must :D
