ok, and I'm seeing 0x51 being used elsewhere, Would that be used here ?.
(I haven't found any reliable docs for this ...)

I did that ... at least I hope that's what the attached patch does .. 

That is to say :- it fixes the compiler error message ... but does
not generate valid attributes for loading.

I didn't commit it coz I couldn't really say if it broke something
deep within . Which is why I'm running it through you.

Still wondering how to find docs for that ?... ECMA spec doesn't seem
to mention anything remotely like this ...
