[OpenLayers-Dev] Format.JSON in IE sometimes failing

[Eric Lemoine]

Hi Bart

Do you know the reason of the failure on IE6? IE6 bug? Your patch
doesn't solve your problem but provides better error handling, right?
Maybe an error message should be output to the console in case of
serialization failure. Eric
