Ajax in setTimeout throws error

This is an interesting and slightly difficult problem becuase what is apparently happening in the threaded environment is that

for(var prop in foo)

will iterate over properties of the Java Object. Even though the object is created in the script context as a simple object {bar:"abc"}; This happens when we call $.ajax({}) because the jquery ajax method calls $.extend wich iterates over the property and throws

Another interesting thing is that if you call

print(foo);

on the object before the iteration of properties it acts like a normal javascript object.

This is a major blocker in several areas, not just jquery.
