using .length() instead of .length causes server problem

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Put parentheses on the .length jsonquery (which is not valid, I just
keep doing it accidentally)
2. So your URL looks something like:  
   http://whatever:8080/[?price<50].length()

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would just expect this to fail, but instead it runs for a long time and
then fails with a message on the server saying "should not get here".

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm seeing this on a moderately old installation (which is close to
production).  Obviously not an issue unless I mistype my commands, but it
should be fixed, if it hasn't already on a newer version, since it would
allow anyone to cause problems.

(forgive me if this is already fixed on a recent version, didn't have a
chance to try it)

Thanks,
Dylan

This may just be my installation ... please ignore this defect for the moment 
while I
verify.

I tried this again using Persevere 1.0 and could not recreate the issue I was 
seeing.
 Using .length() does cause a bunch of junk to scroll by on the console, and then an
error, but it doesn't appear to cause any crashes/hangs/denial of service/etc 
as far
as I can tell.  This bug can be closed out.
