the 1000 iterations (resulting in the 10secs wait) originate from a 
patch of mine; if it wasn't there, you would get an immediate failure of 
"couldn't create".

the obvious question is: did you load pdlua?
more questions are:
did you try "hello-help"?
did pdlua register the sys_loader for lua?
did you modify your testjack.pd_lua in order to register the class 
"testjack" rather than the class "hello"?
what happens when running with "-verbose"?


finally: the lua-help.pd does not use the hello.pd_lua at all, but 
rather hello.lua which is a completely different file (though the name 
is similar)
