Description
When low on memory, `lua_pushstring` can fail (and `longjmp` out). This will leave the list of interfaces uncollected https://github.com/Mashape/lua-ip/blob/4c0e6cba3a3c01cf7c70030970d7aad72cbd23e1/lua_ip.c#L59

Research direction
The issue points to lua_ip.c at line 59; start by tracing the interface-list lifetime through the lua_pushstring failure path. Confirm the low-memory behavior and consider the work complete when that failure path no longer leaves the interface list uncollected.
