           Summary: JS: console.log.apply() broken, throws TypeError
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs

I created a wrapper function "log()" to check if console.log exists before sending messages to it; this allows my code to run without errors on IE and Firefox (when Firebug is disabled). The function passes its arguments on to console.log() by converting the 'arguments' object to an array and calling:

console.log.apply(this, argsArray);

On Firefox with Firebug installed this works as intended. In WebKit, however, it raises a TypeError with the unhelpful text description "type error".

Reproducing this bug is easy. Just open a JavaScript console and enter: 

console.log.apply(this, ["Hello World"]);

This bug effects console.log.call as well. Replacing 'this' with any other value yields the same result.
