Reporter, could you please provide a testcase and see if this also occurs in
Mozilla's latest nightly?

Not sure if my testcase is valid 100%, but if it is this is definately a bug.
Frame.location should return the location of the frame.

[Jesse Ruderman]

The testcase works fine if I use iframe.src instead of iframe.location.  Is
iframe.location supposed to be defined?

The testcase is bogus (the location is on the iframe.contentWindow, not the
iframe itself).

The original bug report with print() worksforme, so marking so.
