Either this too technical or I have people really stumped.

It would be great to have at least one comment, even pointing me to some other stuff on the web that might help.

We have now managed to stop the "Alarm Clock" appearing, due to a broken symlink, but the eval/alarm bit now just hangs until the server eventually returns. The 'Timeout' on the socket creation is currently 10 seconds, the alarm is 5 seconds and there's a sleep for 6 minutes on the test server. Currently the client waits for 6 minutes instead of 5 seconds. Help!!!
