Lua script caused tshark to crash while sending tcp data

Tried to run a simple lua script in tshark, the socket connection worked fine but sending data caused the crash.

Here is the simple lua script (called te.lua),

local host, port = "127.0.0.1", 80
local socket = require("socket")
local tcp = assert(socket.tcp())
tcp:connect(host, port);
–note the newline below
io.write("sending…\n");
tcp:send("GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n");
io.write("finished sending…\n");

Here is the command line

tshark -Xlua_script:te.lua -r /0000.pcap tcp.port == 0

Using a debugger, here is the stack trace

I am using tshark 1.10.6 on ubuntu 14.04 (64bit).

Any ideas?

Thanks
