Hello. I haven't really tried to see what happens on other platforms,
but here's what's going on Win32. I get any SpiderMonkey version
_after_ js-1.5-rc4a (including the current CVS snapshot), compile it
in the release mode (I use MSVC 6.0) and run jsshell against the
sample script:

Release\jsshell.exe perfect.js

Here's the error I get:

perfect.js:16: ReferenceError: n is not defined

In fact, the same will happen in any JS function, which refers to its
argument(s).

It appears that the issue was introduced in js-1.5-rc5. But the most
surprising part is that even js-1.5-rc5 works fine when compiled in
the debug mode.

Any comments? Thanks.
