Sounds like it's NOT your program that's timing out, but rather your
browser is giving up waiting for your program to finish.  Web browsers
were not designed to wait forever for data.  A possible solution is to
spit out a bunch of spaces every minute or two so that the browser
knows your program is still alive.  You might have to spit out like
4000 spaces because the output is likely buffered by the httpd server.
