jQuery nightly: Stack overflow error in IE8

jQuery nightly: Stack overflow error in IE8

Using the current jquery-nightly.js in IE8 under Windows 7
(preinstalled on a Dell Zino HD) gives the following error dialog as
soon as the page loads:
Message from webpage
/!\ Stack overflow at line: 1456
This is easy to replicate with just a page that loads jQuery and does
nothing else:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://
www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html lang='en-US' xml:lang='en-US' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/
xhtml'>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script src="jquery-nightly.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
Hello world
</body>
</html>
The version I'm looking at is this:
$ ls -l jquery-nightly.js
-rw-r--r-- 1 brian brian 151515 2009-12-30 15:17 jquery-nightly.js
$ md5sum jquery-nightly.js
4b9d3ce23235cdc749f1c9f6bdef3f6d jquery-nightly.js
$ head -10 jquery-nightly.js

And here is line 1456:
proxy: function( fn, proxy, thisObject ) {
if ( proxy !== undefined && !jQuery.isFunction
( proxy ) ) { <<<< 1456
thisObject = proxy;
proxy = undefined;
}
Is this a known problem, and is there a known workaround? I was trying
out the nightly build to see if it fixes an issue I have with
jquery-1.3.2 (#5732)
Thanks,
Brian.
