dojo.require: strange infinite recursion bug when string is assigned to Array.prototype.xxx or Object.prototype.xxx

[tavis@…]

The json.js library from www.json.org contains the following line:

Array.prototype.array = 'array';

When I load this library on any page using dojo.require() I get an infinite recursion error. The same error occurs if I include that line by itself in a script tag. Object.prototype.array = 'array' leads to the same error. If I assign a int, rather than a string to Array.prototype.array there is no error.

btw, the order of the statements makes no difference.
