Description Erik Arvidsson 2011-04-12 09:41:01 PDT 
The following code snippet should throw a TypeError exception but it returns the global object instead.

({}).valueOf.call(null)

15.2.4.4 Object.prototype.valueOf ( )

...

1.	Let O be the result of calling ToObject passing the this value as the argument.

9.9 ToObject

...

Argument Type   Result
Undefined         Throw a TypeError exception.
Null                  Throw a TypeError exception.


The same problem occurs in other places like Array.prototype.slice.call(undefined) etc.
