[jQuery] Ajax timeout doesn't call error function?

[PanMan]

Hi!
I'm trying to setup an ajax call which throws an error on timeout.

function getXMLfeed(url, target) {
$.ajax({
        "url": url,
        "timeout": 10000,
        "error": function(d,msg) {
          alert("Could not load stuff");
      },
   "success": function(data){
    var json = $.xml2json(data);
        gotdata(json, target);
        }
 });

This works, but the error is never thrown. If I change the URL to
something that's broken, I do get the error message, but on timeout it
never happens.
Am I doing anything wrong? Or is this a bug somewhere?
Thanks!
PanMan.
