[ka-Map-users] Firefox problem with ka-map

[Paul Spencer]

I haven't seen this before.  I agree that it is likely not a locking  
issue.

I wanted to implement something that counts tiles as they load, but  
never got it working.  There was also (at one time, perhaps still in  
there) an error handler for images that failed to load (would try  
again and then force the tile if it didn't work several times).

I don't really have time to work on this now, but if someone else  
wants to figure it out ...
