This is also in Radar as 4005252

- go to ebay.com
- search for something
- scroll down at the search results page
- click on an item
- go back after the page for that item has loaded

result: you're back at the search results page, but the scroll position is not restored

This is makes searching for things at ebay very difficult.

Firefox does not have this problem.

I stumbled onto a way to get the same behavior when I had some breakpoints set in gdb, at nytimes.com.  
I only rarely could make it happen at ebay, but it seems like a good chance that it is the same bug.  The 
flakey behavior is consistent with my analysis of it being a race condition.

So this doesn't fix 4051 after all? Bummer. Still, nice fix.
