      c = db.c;
c.drop();

c.save( { a:{ b:1 } } );

printjson( c.aggregate( { $project:{ ab:'$a.b' } } ) );

c.save( { a:1 } );

// Now asserts because a 'b' field cannot be found within 'a' in the new a:1 document.
printjson( c.aggregate( { $project:{ ab:'$a.b' } } ) );

      Observed behavior: $project asserts if a field path references a non object parent.
      Expected behavior: $project treats the field path as missing.
