Test what happens when you set the window's prototype to various values. On success, you will see a series of "PASS" messages, followed by "TEST COMPLETE". PASS __proto__ = window; __proto threw exception Error: cyclic __proto__ value. PASS __proto__ = chainPointingBackToWindow; __proto__ threw exception Error: cyclic __proto__ value. PASS __proto__ = 1; __proto__ is originalWindowPrototype PASS __proto__ = 'a string'; __proto__ is originalWindowPrototype PASS __proto__ = anotherObject; __proto__ is anotherObject PASS anotherObject.__proto__ = window; __proto__ threw exception Error: cyclic __proto__ value.
