PhantomJS 1.9.7 is based on an ancient version of WebKit that lacks ES5 functions like Function.prototype.bind. It also crashes pretty frequently.

I can absolutely concur that it crashes frequently. I have high hopes v2 fixes this. Most of the crashes are due to WebKit bugs that have since been resolved in QT5.

I waited and waited but just gave up. I really hope they bring it up to speed.
