Greetings,

I am trying to create a wrapper around a C function via
    JS_DefineFunction( ctx, myobj, "Open", &native_fn, 0, 0 )
where myobj was previously created with
    JS_NewObject( ctx, &s_jsclass, 0, 0 )

I had this or very very similar code basically working a couple of years ago
[I think this statement is weak enough to be accurate :) ], but now I get an
error.  Basically it seems to come from the following code in jsobj.c,
function GetClassPrototype( ):
    if (!FindConstructor(cx, scope, name, &v))
        return JS_FALSE;
where 'name' is "Function" and 'scope' is the 'myobj' from above.

I am using spidermonkey version 1.5-rc4a [I'd rather postpone upgrading to
1.5-rc5 due to timing/"stability"issues -- or should I upgrade?].

(I've also tried other combinations of New/Define etc.)

If anyone has
* any ideas to get me over this;
* or any pointers to docs other than the ones linked from the spidermonkey
page,
it would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you,
-Pavel Podgoretsky
