Description Mark Rowe (bdash) 2006-08-02 05:11:24 PDT 
function foo() { null.bar() = 1; } throws a parse error meaning that scripts around it are not executed, even though the null.bar() = 1; statement is only erroneous if executed.  This bug was pointed out by a user of the Google Web Toolkit, as for some strange reason it generates code of this style.

WebKit 418.8 parses the code fine, as does Firefox.

This seems to work now (r21600).
