Comment(by macports.org@…):

 Are you sure about that? Because {{{new File(filename)}}} works without
 any issue on this installation:

 {{{
 > js -e "new File();"
 [1]    98402 segmentation fault  js -e "new File();"
 > js -e "new File('/dev/null');"
 >
 }}}

 and I fail to see why jslint would care for creating a file object with no
 backing file.

 Indeed, the patchfile used to make jslint useable from the command-line
 creates a file object with an argument, not a no-arg one.

 I'll probably report the issue if it still manifests itself in
 Spidermonkey 1.8.5 (if/when macports udpates to it)
