$.getScript Fails Locally in 1.5

[[email protected]…]

$.getScript() seems to not be executing the script or any callback methods in 1.5. When jQuery is replaced with 1.4.4 all works as expected.

The new jqXHR Object is created and does include the responseText property set with the string representation of the requested JS file but no optional return methods are fired and the response text is not executed.

Bug was reproduced in Firefox 3.6.13 on Windows 7.

Steps to reproduce: On page load, run:

$.getScript('aScript.js');

Creating a signifier in 'aScript.js' such as an alert dialog will show in jQuery 1.4.4 but not in jQuery 1.5
