*
* On IE, there are two problems: Setting onreadystatechange to null (as
* opposed to an empty function) sometimes throws an exception. With
* particular (rare) versions of jscript.dll, setting onreadystatechange from
* within onreadystatechange causes a crash. Setting it from within a timeout
* fixes this bug (see issue 1610).
*
* End result: *always* set onreadystatechange to an empty function (never to
* null). Never set onreadystatechange from within onreadystatechange (always
