Reinstalling windows? Why???

If memory get's overwritten, that's called an overflow (you're last

Maybe not in your program but in LuaPlus?
As you said: the crash occurs in the third-party lib LuaPlus. I've
checked: it's opensource too. So why don't you ask on their mailing list
about your problem? They even have their sourcecode stored in a
Subversion repository, so the chance that at least *some* people there
are using TSVN too is good. Maybe one of them has experienced similar
problems and can help you debug?
