Newly created threads in JS from MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH causes to hang in Windows
This Patch should fix the problem.

How to determine Rhino version programatically?
You can call getImplementationVersion() on a Context instance and it gives you a string

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.
