Brotli crashes in Node REPL

[Daniel Bruhn]

I'm using brotli 1.2.0, with this simple file:

var b = require('brotli');

Executing the file with node yields no errors, but when the same command is executed in the node REPL, brotli fails with an exception:

$ node --version
v4.5.0

$ cat test.js
var b = require('brotli');

$ node test.js

$ node
> .load test.js
> var b = require('brotli');
TypeError: Cannot read property 'replace' of undefined

Any idea why brotli would act differently in the REPL?

See #1. It's an issue because of emscripten.

My bad, I should have checked the closed issues!
