dofile() & sleep()

I'm planning a bigger script project with several script parts. My idea is to start another skript with dofile(). First tests are ok.

But there is an issue with dofile() and sleep(). When a script runs via dofile() and in this script is included sleep(), I get an error message. Without sleep() is all fine.

example scripts:
Code: (lua) [Select]
--[[
@title test1
]]

for i=1, 10 do
    print("test", i)
    sleep(500)
    print(get_meminfo().free_size)
end
Code: (lua) [Select]
--[[
@title test2
]]

dofile("A/CHDK/SCRIPTS/t_01.lua")Error message:
Code: [Select]
attempt to yield across metamethod/C-call boundary
Any thoughts?

Instead of dofile, use

Code: [Select]
f=loadfile('foo.lua')
f()
or more succinctly
Code: [Select]
loadfile('foo.lua')()

Don't forget what the H stands for.
