exception handling crash

node 5.1.0 crashes on windows 7 when running:
node -e "throw {toString:function(){throw this;}}"

Smells like a v8 issue.

google chrome doesn't exhibit this issue

what behavior does chrome exhibit?

On v4+:

$ node -e "throw {toString: function() { throw this; }}"

[eval]:1
throw {toString: function() { throw this; }}
^
Ƕ?b?

0.10 aborts

in Chrome's console:

On Linux with node v5.1.0 I just get:

[eval]:1
throw {toString:function(){throw this;}}
^

No weird/junk characters below the caret.

Node 5.1.0, Windows Server 2012 R2:

C:\>node -e "throw {toString:function(){throw this;}}"

[eval]:1
throw {toString:function(){throw this;}}
^
 Er?O?☻

C:\>node
> throw {toString:function(){throw this;}}

repl:1
throw {toString:function(){throw this;}}
                           ^
 ??b=~
