jqPlot: crash/hang/infinite loop in the DateAxisRenderer

Hi everyone,

This seems oddly specific. If you've tried using the DateAxisRenderer in jqPlot with a single data point, or multiple data points with the same y value, you might have found yourself stuck with a browser crash.

For example, see this question on stackoverflow or the issue tracker.

Well, the problem has a partial fix which is now in the codebase. I believe there are still some cases where there might be a problem so it's being worked on.

Until its released, you can incorporate the changes into dateAxisRenderer.js by copying them from here.
