I wonder if this could be solved by increasing SocketReadTimeout:
"This directive is used to configure the amount of time (in seconds)
that Interchange will wait for incoming request data to arrive on an
open socket."
http://www.interchange.rtfm.info/icdocs/config/SocketReadTimeout.html
The downside of increasing the value is said to be an increased
susceptibility to a certain type of DoS attack.
