If you still get the error even after doing all the DNS stuff that Quentin
recommends, it is worth noting that there is a bug in 2 of the rules in 1.5
that cause them to (almost) never terminate, which is why I wrote the
timeout code in the first place.

There was a patch posted on the SA website to get around this problem, or
else you can upgrade to SA 2.01 which doesn't suffer from it.
