[OpenLayers-Dev] Firefox crashes

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Christopher,

I think this fixes it. I can now zoom in and out with no problems and I 
changed the maxfeatures: 100 and it still performed well. I'm happy with 
this and many thanks to you and the team. OL 2.4 is looking very nice 
indeed.

Thank you.
