Description

When running it in IE11 I get this error:

SCRIPT5045: Assignment to read-only properties is not allowed in strict mode
index.js (1075,1)

As a workaround I can remove 'use strict' and then the error disappears. I have AngularJS 1.7 with browserify.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the assignment to a read only property causing the strict mode error in IE11. Trace the Buffer.prototype.slice method to find the problematic assignment and propose a fix.
