*SUMMARY: Passing a RegExp object to a RegExp() constructor. 
*This test arose from Bugzilla bug 61266. The ECMA3 section is:       
*
*  15.10.4.1 new RegExp(pattern, flags)
*
*  If pattern is an object R whose [[Class]] property is "RegExp" and 
*  flags is undefined, then let P be the pattern used to construct R 
*  and let F be the flags used to construct R. If pattern is an object R
*  whose [[Class]] property is "RegExp" and flags is not undefined, 
*  then throw a TypeError exception. Otherwise, let P be the empty string  
*  if pattern is undefined and ToString(pattern) otherwise, and let F be 
*  the empty string if flags is undefined and ToString(flags) otherwise.
*
*
*The current test will check the second scenario outlined above:
*
*   "pattern" is itself a RegExp object R
*   "flags" is NOT undefined
*
* This should throw an exception ... we test for this.
*
