Unable to create Web Worker from inside webworker in Chrome

Question

Using Chrome 17.0.963.46 m, I tried to create a new web worker from inside a web worker. But got a "Uncaught ReferenceError: Worker is not defined"

Any info. on this? (Google throw surprisingly few links on creating web worker inside webworkers)
