I had already put exactly that, to help break out when I got bored.

I'm afraid it just confirms that we have different problems: that
script gives me no trouble. Perhaps it would give me trouble if the
timeout went up from 5 seconds to 10 hours (it does not at 10 minutes),
but that doesn't feel like a very useful line of enquiry.

I think for the moment I'm going to hope that under the surface our
problems are related, and when your bisection points a finger, look
around to see if it suggests anything for my case. Lazy, but...
