The behavior will likely vary wildly depending on the controller. It would be much better to specify a true timeout value if you know an acceptable value for the timeout. Timeouts are there to serve a watchdog purpose. A good timeout value will never cause a false positive but is short enough that recovery can occur in a reasonable amount of time. It seems that your current timeout choices are causing false positives. -- Justin
