Hmm, LuaJIT 2.0 beta7 passes ngx_lua's test suite completely with
nginx 0.8.54 and 1.0.1 on my Slackware Linux, with or without valgrind
and/or etcproxy. We cannot reproduce it on our side. Sigh. We cannot
easily run your config due to your custom C modules which are not
opensourced and are also open to lurking bugs.

Your backtrace looks so funny that the lua_newthread function returned
a pointer with the value -1, which is unspecified in the Lua
documentation and is unlikely to happen. So it's very likely a
consequence (rather than the real cause) of a corrupted heap that
might appear much earlier than the crash.

Could you try running your server with the standard Lua 5.1
interpreter instead? If it does not crash any more, then it's very
likely a bug in LuaJIT2.0 (or the way ngx_lua interacts with it in
particular).

Also, please consider running your server with valgrind's memcheck
tool to see if there's any memory invalid reads/writes prior to the
crash. Fortunately, valgrind runs very well on Linux, as compared to
Mac OS X.

Another suggestion is to further minimize your config to exclude your
own modules such that we can run your sample on our side directly ;)
