Description

The changes-test fails, because of a strange, or maybe broken, behaviour of webkit-based browsers (testet on Safari Version 4.0.3 (5531.9) and Webkit nightly-build #47686). The asynchronous requests is only completed correctly, if no other JavaScript is running. So it is not possible at the moment to "wait" for new content from the "_changes?feed=continuous"-request.

The only solution to this issue I see is to skip this test on Webkit/Safari.
