This was a fix for the following bug:

     1) Go to Silkair.net
     2) Select a one way flight so you can get to the next page after a 
flight search. Any will do.
     3) On this new page select the schedule link on the left hand side.
     4) Safari crashes.

You can probably reproduce this bug with Konqueror too. The underlying 
cause of the crash is an image onLoad handler that does a setInnerHTML 
call. I can't remember the rest of the details, but during my 
investigation one of the things I learned was that Gecko delayed the 
propagation of image load events for similar reasons.

I wish I could remember all of the details so I knew what other options 
we considered to solve the problem. Perhaps you'll find another 
solution to it.
