JSON.parse(bad_json_string) stalls in node REPL

$ node
> JSON.parse('{{: xjnk123, null};;-=+')

It stalls, when it should throw an error right then and there. It breaks as expected when run as a script ($ node sandbox_json.js).

Thanks!

Ah, there's a trap for this, but only for "unexpected token ILLEGAL", not for "unexpected token {".
