Using First Item Selects All freezes Internet Explorer 8

[GoogleCodeExporter]

** What steps will reproduce the problem?

  $("#<%=p.ParameterName %>").dropdownchecklist({ emptyText: "Please select ...", firstItemChecksAll: true, maxDropHeight: 300, width: 250 });

The above list has about 150 or so items.  Clicking the drop down, it opens 
correctly.  But then hangs indefinitely.  Firefox does not have any problems.

** What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Should not freeze Internet Explorer.  

** What is your environment?
InternetExplorer 8
Windows 7 64bit

-- DropDownCheckList version:
1.2qa
-- jQuery version:
1.4.4
-- jQuery UI version:
1.8.9
-- Browser and version:

I had a similar issue with the dropdown if there was a large amount of items to 
display.  I posted a possible solution in Issue 148 if you want to have a look 
there and see if that helps with your problem.

I am treating this issue as a duplicate of #148.
Please supply an example page that fails.
