Jove, I have seen very familiar behavior in an application I'm building with Ext. I poll the server for a JSON response, and every once in a while I notice that the transport.responseText is empty, and my function would throw an error. More details in this ticket:
http://prototype.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8886/tickets/128-string-evaljson-throwing-a-typeerror I've since refactored to use transport.responseJSON, and the problem with that part of the application seems to have abated. However, the entire application is Ajax, and every so often I will have a response come up empty. Do the Ajax internals work the same way for transport.responseText as for transport.responseJSON? Also, if you have a patch, I'd love to see it!
