I added this line before 442 and I worked for me.

if (numberString.constructor === Number) numberString = numberString.toString();

so

if (numberString.constructor === Number) numberString = numberString.toString();

// now we need to convert it into a number
while (numberString.indexOf(group)>-1)

I'm guessing that a string is not being passed to the method in this case but a 
number. I'd have no idea why you would be parsing a number object into a number 
object, this method is string -> number conversion only.
