Cycle Plugin IE7 Crash Bug

Cycle Plugin IE7 Crash Bug

The cycle plugin crashes IE7 100% of the time in the following situation:
  1. Set up an element to be a slideshow with the cycle plugin
  2. Create an element to show/hide the slideshow on click
  3. Load the page and click the toggle before the slideshow transitions
  4. Wait for the amount of time it takes to transition the slide
  5. Click the toggle again and IE7 crashes, most of the time without any error at all, it just silently closes the browser completely.

Using jQuery version 1.4.2 and the latest cycle plugin.

Here's a very simple example:

The workaround I came up with is to pause the slideshow when it is being hidden and resume when it is being shown again. Issue was first noticed after placing the slideshow within a jQuery UI tab and switching tabs.
