      Issue reproduced via this specific use case:

      1/ enable REST on the database
      2/ create a database (let's say "demo")
      3/ enable profiling on this database (level 2 to profile everything)
      4/ execute a javascript file on the database

      Arbitrary example:

      var i = 0;
      while(i<1){
      db.runCommand( {
      eval: function(name, incAmount) {
      var doc =

      { name : name , num : 0 , total : 0 , avg : incAmount }

      ;
      db.collection1.save( doc );
      return doc;
      },
      args: [ "eliot", i ]
      }
      );
      i++;
      }

      5/ do a REST query on the "system.profile" collection for "demo"

      (for example: http://localhost:28017/demo/system.profile/)

      Resulting JSON is incorrect (javascript command is not escaped)

      See attached file "json_profiles.json".

      If the content of a JSON document value is javascript, the result of a query via the REST interface does not escape this javascript content.
      Resulting content is not correct JSON.

      (tested via a query on "system.profiles" collection -> profiles having commands with javascript content).
