If symbols from the dynamic library are loaded into the global namespace (ffi.C), by invoke ffi.load() with global is true and without save the return value, it may be garbage collected. For correct work the return value must be saved. Example - tarantool/tarantool#4999 So, use a new C library namespace instead the global one. This will help to keep the global namespace clean and avoid the problem with garbage collection.
