> Original Issue
> ===========
> I tracked the issue down to one line of javascript code in remote.js
>    req.onreadystatechange = function() {};
> The following thread discusses the problem is with an old version of the JScript.dll 5.6.0.8820 which is the same version I've got on a laptop here.
>     http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit/browse_thread/thread/69428d48a7581567/709f621eb5a4304e?#709f621eb5a4304e
> One solution is to upgrade JScript.dll to 5.6.0.8831
>    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-023.mspx
> Or we can do what they did in GWT which is to move the req.onreadystatechange out of the scope of the current function
>     window.setTimeout(function() {
>      req.onreadystatechange = function() {};
>      }, 0 );
> Problem found with the above fix
> ============================
> I have found a bug in this fix.
> If the server response comes back before the "window.setTimeout(xxx,0) expires, it will drop it.
> From reading the javascript specs, the minimum timeout value is actually around 25ms. Anything smaller than that, it gets rounded up.
> Also, using timer to set response callback are inherently flawed IMO. There's always going to be some sort of race condition.
> This problem seems to happen on internet explorer, and safari. Firebox doesn't seem to have a problem with it though.
> I discovered this problem when I set a break point on the incoming request processing code on the server. If the breakpoint is inserted, everything is good. But when I removed the breakpoint, the problem appears again.
