Details

To reproduce:

1) open the attached file in to separate tabs.
2) click on "run test" in the first tab
3) click on "run test" in the second tab
4) close the prompt in the first tab
5) close the prompt in the second tab

Notice that the alert() call in the first prompt does not return until you close the prompt in the second tab, i.e. the second tab is holding the first one hostage.
