+Subject: [PATCH] lua.c: fix ZSTR_VAL usage when using lua < 5.2
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+When using a lua interpreter with a version lower than 5.1, the
+php_lua_write_property ends up calling the ZSTR_VAL with the wrong
+variable (it is expected to receive "member", a zend_string variable,
+but it is "value" that is passed, which is a zval).
+
+Fix php-lua compatibility with interpreters < 5.2 by passing the correct
+variable
+
+Upstream: upstream dead, custom patch
