+Subject: Bug in luac (Lua 5.4.4)?
+From: Marc Balmer <marc@...>
+Date: Sat, 26 Feb 2022 12:59:16 +0100
+
+I think there is a regression in luac that was introduced in Lua 5.4.4:
+
+We compile several files into a single output file like so
+
+luac -o agenda.luac agenda.lua entry.lua guide.lua location.lua
+
+Up to Lua 5.4.3 there was no issue.  Now with Lua 5.4.4 we get a malloc/free error:
+
+luac -o agenda.luac agenda.lua entry.lua guide.lua location.lua
+luac(27853,0x107171600) malloc: *** error for object 0x600001044170: pointer being freed was not allocated
+luac(27853,0x107171600) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
+make: *** [agenda.ext] Abort trap: 6
+
+That is on macOS Monterey, on RHEL 8 it looks like this:
+
+luac -o agenda.luac agenda.lua entry.lua guide.lua location.lua
+free(): double free detected in tcache 2
+
+The problem seems to be the call to luaM_freearray(L,f->lineinfo,f->sizelineinfo); on line 158 of luac.c. This is the only call that has been added to the combine() function.  If I comment out that line, things work as expected.

+
+I'm sorry about that. This issue has appeared before and I've failed
+to address it properly:

+
+Could you please try this patch? Thanks.
