Research direction

Start with test/js/returnvalue-test.js and reproduce the Debian build failure using the Node 4.6.1 context from the issue. Read the linked build log to identify where the SIGSEGV occurs, then trace the relevant native code and tests. Done means the test no longer crashes and the regression is covered by a passing test.
