Here's an unexpected weirdness, probably not deeply related. Change
your first helper page to


<script>
var someName = "OLD WINDOW";
var evil = eval;
function f() {
  return someName;
}
function g() {
  return (1,evil)("3");
}
</script>



On FF and Safari, I get 3 as expected. On Chrome, I get on my console:

    Uncaught EvalError: The "this" value passed to eval must be the
global object from which eval originated

Especially weird, because this code doesn't pass any this to the
renamed eval. I don't know what this means.
