Note that Scribunto requires Lua 5.1.5 *or higher*; the bundled 5.3.4
should work, unless it's not suitable for your system or is taking up too
much memory and is crashing for some reason (as implied by the signal 11
you're reporting).

This can sometimes happen if you're on an armhf or aarch64/arm64 Linux
system that runs x86_64 binaries through an emulator; currently no arm
Linux binaries are bundled with the extension and you may have to obtain a
build yourself if it's not preinstalled on your system.
