That wasn't my impression from the previous email thread. Jie was OK with doing it either way, and only disabling the timeout entirely makes sense to me given the risk for memory corruption otherwise. What "insanely high" timeout value do you have in mind and why would it be acceptable to corrupt kernel memory after that time?
