It's harmless as long as UML keeps running. I may understand that my public server (where I also use to play with uml too, from remote, i.e. free time at the office) is a PIII500 with only 128MB of RAM and an old 12GB hdd: this lack of performances and the temporary high cpu load (postfix+spamassassin+apache2+mysql) can be the reason of this problems. May it be reasonable to increase this schedule timeout? I mean moving the limit to 15-20sec?
