Stackoverflow in IE7 when _toString is called without any parameters

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In IE7 call date.toString() without any format parameter
2. IE7 will report a stackoverflow
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- A formatted date

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- On a trunk version of datejs from 3/5/2009 and IE7 on windows vista

Please provide any additional information below.
- The YUI calendar control is storing a date inside of an object property.
When that is done on IE7, it seems to be calling an implicit .toString() on
the date object.

When this is done the _toString function defined in core.js gets into a
recurive loop and keeps going until a stackoverflow happens.

There should be some sort of default format or a way to not get into a
recursive loop.

If you change the function definition of toString to something else (line 73 
and 151) of DateJs.js then it works.

Reads like my Issue 143 which as it turns out is solved by

Change 

Date.prototype._toString=Date.prototype.toString;

to

if(Date.prototype._toString==undefined) 
{Date.prototype._toString=Date.prototype.toString;}
