'this' different between REPL and script

Viewed 558

After reading through mozilla docs I found this:

In the global execution context (outside of any function), this refers to the global object, whether in strict mode or not.

After playing with scopes for a little I found that in node.js REPL...

> this === global
true

but when I create a script with the same line...

$ cat > script.js
console.log(this === global)
$ node script.js
false

Is there a reason for this? Or is it a bug?
