OK -- we currently setting:

    timeout = 600

And, we have NOT set it in the client CLI.

Although, I thought that we also experienced this withOUT timeout set.

I do not know.  What do you think?

I suppose that setting it in the client CLI is the first step?

We are on Debian sarge 2.6.4-6.  Upgrading to 2.6.8-2 , requires
upgrading "libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1) but 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge3 is installed".  Is
this worth it?

That appears to be the most appropriate first step -- right?  Only if
this faults, then the other options?

What do you think?
