Javascript function atob() when applied to incorrect string, like atob("\r\n") throws an exception with NS_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY failure code.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open sample html page:
<script>
try {
  atob("\r\n");
}
catch(e) { alert(e); }
</script>
2.See alert box with NS_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY failure code.
Actual Results:  
An exception with NS_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY failure code is thrown

Expected Results:  
Failure code should be different, because error is caused by incorrect input string, not lack of memory.
