ajaxStop is not called, if an ajax-request runs into an exception

[shameister]

If an ajax-request is fired crossdomain the browser stops the request and throws an exception. Here I expect jQuery runs the ajaxStop-method. But this does not happen.

How so? If an exception has occurred (in that, if we can no longer continue) - that would mean that we would have to handle the cross domain error - but we can't due that, as that information has to be left to the user to handle. If there's an error with your request in initialization then all bets are off as to future performance.
