a document, constisting of

and a range starting at the last "bla" to "some" 
when using  
sel.getRangeAt(0).surroundContents(Some_NODE);
i get the following error:
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Index or size is negative or greater
than the allowed amount"  code: "1" nsresult: "0x80530001
(NS_ERROR_DOM_INDEX_SIZE_ERR)"  location:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a html document with ONLY TEXT 
2. Select Some text
3. execute the following javascript code in the location bar:
javascript:window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0).surroundContents(document.createElement("A"))

Actual Results:  
i got an uncaught exception, 
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Index or size is negative or greater
than the allowed amount"  code: "1" nsresult: "0x80530001
(NS_ERROR_DOM_INDEX_SIZE_ERR)"  location:
"javascript:window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0).surroundContents(document.createElement("A"))
Line: 1"]

Expected Results:  
It should have surrounded the selected text node with the "A" tag, so that it is
now a LINK !
