So it's this way?
-the router (Linksys WRT350N) is creating the time out (or something
else in the "subsystem")
-it aborts the mission and somehow signals Evolution, which then pops up
the timed out message

Whatever. I'm giving up on that particular wireless router and see if I
can avoid the problem that way.
