[En-Nut-Discussion] TWI and Lua problem

Hello all,

I use NutOS 4.9.10 on a board like EIR with a SAM7S CPU. I use a big 
display board with 72 LED using four LTC3220 LED driver and a PCA9546A 
I2C multiplexer. Everything works fine when I access the devices from c 
code. If I try to access the device from a Lua script (I had written a 
Lua function wrapper for TwMasterTransact) I run into problems. After 
some bytes (5 to 15) I see a too short clock pulse. Normally the clock 
pulse is 100µs long, both high and low part. The too short low pulse is 
only 0.5µs long. This equivalent to a frequency of 1MHz and much too 
fast for the I2C devices I use.
If I call the Lua wrapper function directly from c, It works fine. It 
fails only together with Lua.

I have higher the stack space of the Lua thread. Same result.
I check heap memory with NUTMEM_GUARD and NUTDEVICE_HEAP, everything is ok.
Nobody change the port pins (SDA, SCL).

Any help is welcome!

Greetings
Andre
