If we're running into 3600 seconds, then setting this to 4000 seconds seems to be a smal stopgap at best. That's just over a 10% increase, so if one person ran into it it 3600 someone with a slightly slower system should be running into the same still, or if we just add a few more tests to 7112 (or some other slow test). So why not set this ta 3600*10 or whatever for *all* of the test scripts instead of playing whack-a-mole? 1. https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_test/TIMEOUT.html
