I have a page where every 5 seconds changes some information with
XMLHttpRequest(), all works great, but when this page runs ~12h (firefox ->
Plasma TV) the information changes 10 times per second, javascript doesn't give
any errors.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the script ~12h

Actual Results:  
timout function runs every 0.1 second.

Expected Results:  
every 5 second
