Newly created threads in JS from MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH causes to hang in Windows

How to determine Rhino version programatically
You can call getImplementationVersion() on a Context instance and it gives you a string
eg. Rhino 1.6 release 2 2005 09 19
Can an embedded SpiderMonkey JS Engine use DOMParser extension of Mozilla
DOMParser is not part of JS but part of Mozilla browser which makes it available to script in the browser using XPConnect. An alternative would be to use built-in E4X.
