User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

I call nsIURIChecker asyncCheck() from javascript to check the URI does not yet
exists

when the URI is http:// URI or an existing file:// URI it calls onStartRequest
but if URI is an unexisting file:// URI it never calls onStartRequest and never
returns

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. call asyncCheck with an unexisting file:// URI
2. see if onStartRequest is called
3.

Actual Results:  
onStartRequest does not get called

Expected Results:  
call onStartRequest
