 * We are using flickr gallery 1.3.0 on our WP MU 2.8.6 installation, and we are
   seeing a problem that only happens when using Internet Explorer 8.
 * After about the fifth or sixth image in a flickr-gallery slideshow, the browser
   starts slowing down when switching images, the bottom edge of the lightbox starts
   bobbing up and down, and finally a dialog box comes up with the message:
 * “Stop running this script?
 * A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly. If it continues
   to run, your computer might become unresponsive.”
 * You can click “No” and try to keep going, but it just keeps slowing down even
   more, and will pop up the same dialog box again.
 * Here is a sample gallery page that should exhibit the problem in IE8:

 * Seems like a JavaScript memory leak?
 * Thanks,
