Bug 635389 may be related, I'm filing separate because they have different regression windows.

The more I look at the stacks, the more I suspect this is another manifestation of bug 635389, even though that bug doesn't have .bind and this one does.

I'll leave it to others more knowledgeable to confirm this dupe.

[Jeff Walden [:Waldo]]

toString would call bind, that would throw because |this| wasn't callable, then it'd try to be helpful and stringify |this| for the error message, lather, rinse, repeat.

Fixed by bug 601709, which removed this errant stringification that's not at all part of the spec, and which also removes the possibility of recurring solely via built-in methods.
