Hmmm. With the other kind of recursion (khtmltests/js/crash-2.js) I get
the expected name (RangeError) and message (Maximum call stack size
exceeded). Looks like the "No default value" is overwriting the other one.
Is this a problem ? It's an exception after all. Just coming from a higher
level.

Hmmm. Would require more work. Tell me if you ever have a problem with
this difference in a real world script.
