1. Go into the mongo shell (version 3.1.6 or earlier)
2. Run the following:

y = Math.pow(10, 8) var x = 'asdf'.pad(y);

Expected result: x becomes a giant string that I was planning to use to generate a DocumentTooLarge error

Actual result: the shell breaks.

This issue is gone as of this morning's build but was present in 3.1.6.

If I try to create a large (100 MB) string, v8 stops working and says it's out of memory.

This was a bummer because people might end up frustrated with a non-working shell.
