jslint: why do this code result in a "Strict violation" error message?

Question

Running the following simple code results in a "Strict violation." error message. I have been trying to find documentation on why, and how to fix it. Any input will be much appreciated.

The error:

Error:

Problem at line 6 character 4: Strict violation.

} (this));

The sample code:

/*jslint browser: true, onevar: true, undef: true, nomen: true, eqeqeq: true, plusplus: true, bitwise: true, regexp: true, strict: true, newcap: true, immed: true */

"use strict";

(function (window) {
} (this));

I had a look at the source code of jslint, which says:

function reservevar(s, v) {
    return reserve(s, function () {
        if (this.id === 'this' || this.id === 'arguments' ||
                this.id === 'eval') {
            if (strict_mode && funct['(global)']) {
                warning("Strict violation.", this);
            } else if (option.safe) {
                warning("ADsafe violation.", this);
            }
        }
        return this;
    });
}

I guess that jslint really complains that you are using this in a global context.
