Lower case "string", otherwise it seems like it's an object.

[Michael Starzinger, 2011/10/26 10:42:50]

Done.

+assertEquals('Error', e.toString());
+
+
+// Test printing of cyclic errors which return the empty string for

+
+e = new Error();

+e.message = e;
+e.stack = "Does not occur in output";
+e.arguments = "Does not occur in output";
+e.type = "Does not occur in output";

+
+e = new Error();
+e.name = [ e ];
+e.message = [ e ];
+e.stack = "Does not occur in output";
+e.arguments = "Does not occur in output";
+e.type = "Does not occur in output";

Lower case "string" here too.

[Michael Starzinger, 2011/10/26 10:42:50]

Done.

Good stuff!
