[Greasemonkey] Re: sandboxCtor

[Travis Choma]

I solved my problem by changing the line in GM_DocHandler.prototype.snarf()

from:
this.sandboxCtor = this.unsafeContentWin.Object
to:
this.sandboxCtor = this.unsafeContentWin.Object.constructor.

Now there is no more unexpected errors, and the injected javascript runs
fine and can access the GM api.

I got the idea from browsing some of the older versions of dochandler.js. I
would be thankful if anyone has any intuitive explanation for this.

Best regards,
-Travis
