I am facing a problem when using instanceof operator within a sandbox,
see the following example:

var Cu = Components.utils;
var sandbox = new Cu.Sandbox(window);
var script = "function (obj, type) { return obj instanceof type; }";
var instanceOf = Cu.evalInSandbox(script, sandbox, "1.8", "Test", 1);
instanceOf({}, Window);

I have evaluated this code in Error Console (Tools -> Error Console)
command line.
(just to note that changing wantXrays doesn't make any difference)

Firefox 3.6 returns false
Firefox 4.0 returns true
Firefox 5.0 (Aurora) returns true

So, only Firefox 3.6 works as expected.

Blake, Andreas, this sounds like proxy fail of some sort...

Everywhere except in jswrapper that we call into the JSClass's hasInstance hook, we initialize the out parameter to false. I don't know if that's an implicit part of the API, but it lead to us reading an uninitialized boolean because nsDOMClassInfo depended on this behavior.

It's a little weird to have a guaranteed-initialized out parameter coming from the JS engine, so I fixed nsDOMClassInfo to not depend on it, but also initialized the out param in the proxy code to be on the safe side.
