http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/js/tests/ecma_3/Exceptions/catchguard-001.js
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/js/tests/ecma_3/Exceptions/catchguard-003.js

These testcases fail with the messages:
Testcase ecma_3/Exceptions/catchguard-001.js failed
Failure messages were:
FAILED!: [reported from test()] Exception data modified inside catch() scope
    should not be visible in the function scope (e = 'this change should not
    propagate outside of this scope'.)

Testcase ecma_3/Exceptions/catchguard-003.js failed
Failure messages were:
FAILED!: [reported from test()] Data modified in 'catchguard expression' should
    not be visible in the function scope (x = '1'.)

From what I understand, they should not fail, but I could be mistaken.
Let me know if the testcases are invalid and I'll adjust/delete them.

catchguard-001.js passes after this change.
catchguard-003.js was an invalid testcase, fixed.
