[Bug 15120] New: It would appear that setTimeout()'s algorithm doesn't ever actually check whether the task is still in the list of active timeouts, and doesn't remove the timeout from the list of active timeouts. Similarly with setInterval().

           Summary: It would appear that setTimeout()'s algorithm doesn't
                    ever actually check whether the task is still in the
                    list of active timeouts, and doesn't remove the
                    timeout from the list of active timeouts. Similarly
                    with setInterval().
