I think that there is a bug in catching some errors in a try/catch
block.  Look at the code below:

function crash(b) {
  var a, str, num;
  a = b['x'];                   // NOT caught
  //str = 'x'; a = b[str];      // NOT caught
  //a = b[1];                   // caught, ok
  //num = 1; a = b[num];        // caught, ok   
  //a = b.x;                    // caught, ok
}

function testcatch() {
 try {
   crash(null);
   writeln('no error');
 } catch (e) {
   writeln('error: '+e);
 }
}

testcatch()
