Research direction

Start by reproducing the eval failure in an iframe using Chrome 37, then read the linked Chromium issue 412173 for the browser-side context. Trace how vm-browserify handles iframe evaluation and compare the behavior with other browser contexts. Done means the reported iframe case works or the project documents a confirmed browser limitation.
