Summary:
Application hangs when trying to upload a new application, having failed to provide a .zip or .apk.

Test System:
Windows 7 / Ubuntu 11.04
Firefox 8.0

Steps to Replicate:
1. Go to the "My Stuff" tab.
2. Click "Add Application"
3. Provide a name, description, picture, and category, do not upload a .zip or .apk.
4. Click "ok".

Expected Result:
Application will pop an alert that no .zip or .apk has been provided.

Actual Result:
Application seems to hang, only indication is a hourglass or such indicating the system is busy. On Windows the application seems to remain stuck in this state (clicking cancel will not work and the page must be restarted). On Ubuntu after some time an error alert will popup:

"Async (undefined) exception : Local error 1 : Local time out expired for addOrEditApp"

After clicking to acknowledge alert "Add Application Window" can be canceled out of.
