Sorry, nevermind... I used the old "node-uglify" package instead of the
newer "uglifyjs" package. After switching to the latter to provide the
uglifyjs executable, I can process this file with no problems.

So looks like we've sorted this out :) I don't assume uploading and
updating with such changes would be acceptable in the soft freeze, would
it?

Cheers
