FYI, for those that might have have this same problem with newer  
copies of the engine.

When I encounter an error state within one of my C functions, I call  
JS_ReportError().  I have an error reporter set, and I clear it  
before I call into a script.  If JS_CallFunctionValue() or  
JS_EvulateScript() return false, I see if the error reporter was  
called.  If it was, then I use that data for the error, otherwise I  
check JS_GetPendingException() and convert that to an ErrorReport and  
use that.

So far, this catches everything, in the same format, with the line  
numbers.  I'm not throwing catchable exceptions, but, frankly, it's a  
script engine for a game I don't except a lot of try-catches, errors  
should be fatal errors that need to be corrected before shipping.

So, I'm out of the woods on that one.  Once again, FYI for those that  
care.
