Ah, sorry, I'd missed that this test was simply intensive -- the timeout
is normally pretty generous.  However, since it's specifically an
*inactivity* timeout, you should be able to avoid hitting it by having
the test print progress indicators every so often.  Still not a
priority, to be sure, but likely not too difficult.
