This can lead to confusing stacks like this:

> 0:04.00 parent: TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | ../unit/head_crashreporter.js | Unexpected exception TypeError: invalid 'in' operand error, see following stack:
> 0:04.00 do_throw@/home/mihnea/localCode/Mozilla/mc/testing/xpcshell/head.js:482
> 0:04.00 handleMinidump@../unit/head_crashreporter.js:85

> 0:04.00 do_execute_soon/<.run@/home/mihnea/localCode/Mozilla/mc/testing/xpcshell/head.js:444

wherein the actual error is totally obscured.
