setInterval timer stops after finite runs on redhat enterprise linux (RHEL) 5 64 bit firefox. The timer just stops calling the function sent to setInterval. The counter in the example should continue counting, but instead it stops after ~10 callbacks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use setInterval to start a timer

Actual Results:  
The timer will fire anywhere from 2 to 100 time and then stop.
The more timers you add the more time the next on will fire.

Expected Results:  
The timer should fire continuously until clearInterval is called
