Crashing when hosting with LUA enabled?

A question: Is it a well known bug that hosting a game (e.g. BA) with LUA enabled causes strange crashes ingame of the host? Or should that work normally?

Trepan posted a fix in the dev forum a while back. Lua API has a thread race condition crash for hosters, its fixed in the svn but it was too late to make it into 0.74b3, so trepan who fixed it, posted a new build of spring with just the fix added.

I posted a patch, not a build.

My mistake.

In that case, solider, turn off lua UI when hosting.c

Ok, thx for answer. So lets hope 0.75 will be available in a not so distant future...

A last question: In which way does the host crash? A friend of mine had very hard crashes: First a black screen in midgame and then a reboot. Is this really the way it happens when this bug appears?

No. The game just quits. Reboots could indicate hardware issues.
