New issue 2396 by bjouh...@gmail.com: eval messes up function name
resolution
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2396

Load the following HTML page in Chrome:

<html><head><title>eval test</title></head>
<body><script>
(function a() {
function a() {}
eval("true");
alert(a.toString())
})();
</script></body></html>

The alert box displays the outer a() function!!! Without the eval call, it
displays the inner a() function. Same behavior in node.js

On other browsers, the alert box always displays the inner a() function.

The given code does the right thing in strict mode with or without the eval.
