The best way to figure what triggered this type error, is to uncomment
#define KJS_VERBOSE  in kjs/internal.h
and to uncomment the kdDebug calls in the second executeScript()
in kdelibs/khtml/khtml_part.cpp.
This way, you see what's being executed (the whole script), and then
you get a trace of each call being made. You'll at least see which JS code 
gives the type error.
Maybe you still won't be able to fix it, but at least that'll be more info
for those who might be able to fix it ;)
