The ScriptEngine class has a CompatibilityMode flag which can be used to revert some behaviours to that of ECMAScript 3.

var engine = new Jurassic.ScriptEngine();
engine.CompatibilityMode = Jurassic.CompatibilityMode.ECMAScript3;

Setting this flag has the following effects:

parseInt() parses octal numbers without requiring an explicit radix.
NaN, undefined and Infinity can be modified.
The list of reserved keywords becomes much longer (for example, 'abstract' becomes a keyword).
"this" is converted to an object at the call site of function calls.
