some non-assertion code write in assert statement

[AndrewTsao]

  /* Hold a reference to the main thread in the registry */
  assert(lua_pushthread(L) == 1);
  lua_setfield(L, LUA_REGISTRYINDEX, "main_thread");

@creationix Line 233 in luvit_init.c

What does this do? just add an assert?

[AndrewTsao]

I think it's a typo.

@AndrewTsao What does your commit fix?

[bnoordhuis]

If you compile without assertions (-DNDEBUG), lua_pushthread() won't actually get called.

@bnoordhuis Ah! Good call. I will merge this fix then.
