Subj : Rhino: new Function under sealed Global

Hi, I have a script executing inside a unsealed scope which is inside a
sealed Global.

The statement
var func = new Function("arg", "return 'foo(' + arg + ')'")
print(func('bar'))
gives an error "Cannot add a property to a sealed object: anonymous"

However an eval will work under the same scope:
function callFunc(arg)
{
    return eval("'foo(' + arg + ')'");
}

print(callFunc('bar'));

Is there a way to make the runtime accept the "new Function" statement the
same way it accepts the eval?

Thanks,
Mike
