When the timeout is triggered, the "hashValue" variable is no longer  
in scope; you can get round this with a closure and a proper function  
object reference rather than a string:

window.setTimeout(function(){ window.location.hash = hashValue; }, 10);

(although there's still no guarantee it will solve the original  
problem...)

Cheers,

Nick.
