Thanks for the detailed report.
I use lua 5.1.4 too.

As you may have noticed the whole qtlua main function code is enclosed in 
try/catch construct. They should be no way for the QtLua::String exception to 
escape.

QtLua heavily use C++ exception mechanism to handle lua errors and report 
errors to lua. Lua internally use longjmp/setjmp functions to report errors.

I guess you have a problem with C++ exceptions not working properly on your 
system. This may be due to compiler configuration or exceptions not crossing 
shared library boundaries, which is a common issue.
