f.caller in the second case will be Function.prototype.call -- the 
native call method.  It has no p property, of course.

If you want to work in Mozilla and IE, you could either code both ways 
and test user agent to decide which tine of the code fork to follow, or 
you could loop over caller until you find p (and not more than twice).
