Not actually executing, as far as I know -- but taking javascript as text, and then seeing if something that looks like a url may be in the script.

Wouldn't this make sense from G's side to detect more spam or things like if (Mozilla Gbot) do
something nice
else
show kiddie porn with real estate links that sell viagra
end :\

They have something like that, but there's not much point in identifying themselves as Googlebot when they do so. I haven't seen Googlebot executing code myself, but I have seen it testing out anything that looks like a URL in my Javascript code -- even if it isn't prefixed "http://".

Yes but wouldn't it be easier to detect cloaking to send gbot and occasionally something else where cloaking is suspected and do a simple text comparison, that actually write a program that analyses what all variations of javascript could possibly do, from the source code. so after a line if {Gbot) { is found by normal procedures an extra spamtestbot is send: So Gbot sees
nice things
spamtestbot
sees
something looking spammy nice things!= something looking spammy busted easier than
analysing gazzilion versions of javascript and what it could possibly do. Just guessing. :\

You're right, it appears that Googlebot is seeing a URL in the javascript code and following it. The script has a URL in it like this: script src = http :// www.domain. com/ counter/ counter. js (I added some spaces in there, but you get the point. ;)
