[JW Lua] Some odd behavior

[Robert Patterson]

With Thomas's clever suggestion, I believe you have to pass self, so

local result = (tm.LoadStringA or tm.LoadString)(tm, ...)

But honestly, I recommend you not bother. Windows jwlua will work for the
foreseeable future, so the focus of JetPack right now seems like it should
be Silicon Mac. By the time you need to support RGP Lua for Windows, the
fix will be out.
