Yep, it is not funny. And what happens sometimes I just give up and don't waste my time trying to recreate the message.

I looked at the threads you listed and what's strange is the fact there are no replies from Steve or anyone from the SQL Server Central crew. Looks like they pretend the issue does not exist.

I think at least an explanation on what is the timeout in minutes..., and because this is a third party software they have no way of changing it ....

(or someting like this) so at least we know they looked into it.
