Looks reasonable to me.  Unfortunately I can't remember which combination of 
headless VM and timer configs caused hangs when this was originally added.

If anyone has a setup that suffered timeout-related hangs last time we made 
this change, please retest with this patch.  Otherwise I guess we apply the 
patch and hope we didn't miss anything.
