It is probably a bug, because array index based operations generally warp around to 0 at 2^32.
Freudian slip? :-D Easiest fix is to just add the length-set to concat. For a quick ES5 erratum that seems best to me. Removing all the RangeError stuff, and making array indexes just non-negative integers, would be nice for ES6 or similar. I suspect changing that won't break anyone worth caring about, although I do know some people have taken the time to care about this in the past (mostly in a spec-nut way :-) ): http://hexmen.com/blog/2006/12/push-and-pop/ Without having thought too hard about exactly what would be involved, I suspect the amount of stuff you'd need to adjust, and the complexity of checking for sane behavior in all cases (including some of the 2**52 upper-bounding edge cases, depending on what new semantics you might want for "array indexes" or whatever), would make it unwise to try for ES5 errata. But I could well be wrong about this, so I wouldn't necessarily write off that possibility.
