Shouldn't there be a - .call - or - .apply - following the - toString
- above, else the result is just what would be expected from calling
the - toString - method Object.prototype - (it is an ordinary native
object after all)? (Arguments to the - Object.prototype.toString -
method being insignificant, so ignored.)

The evidence above makes it look like it is a mangled test rather than
an edge case.

This would be "works" in the sense of; only if you don't consider
testing an object from one frame with this function defined in
another, and nobody passes it a native object that inherits from -
Function.prototype -.
