Never return false without reporting an error or setting a pending 
exception.  You're causing silent script termination for any id your 
resolve hook doesn't know about.

You might want to use JS_ResolveStandardClass and 
JS_EnumerateStandardClasses to lazily initialize standard class ids in 
the global object, instead of calling JS_InitStandardClasses up front. 
See the comments in jsapi.h and the usage in js.c.
