I believe this bug may be INVALID.

`new Error().stack` shouldn't have anything other than itself in its stack. What else would that new Error possibly have on it?

I'm pretty sure that what was called a problem is not a problem at all. 

Perhaps what you want to do is find what caused onerror to fire, yeah? Perhaps you want error handler that takes the thrown error as a parameter.

function handler(errorEvent) {
  alert(errorEvent.stack);
}


window.addEventListener("scripterror", handler, false);
// OR:
// window.onscripterror = handler;

asdf4++; // cause an error.

And when that error is thrown, then the browser fires a scripterror at the window and a scripterror is just an error so it has the stack, type, message, etc. Post to WHATWG, this is OT. 

Is this bug INVALID?
