I don't think you needed to change that. At least, it won't help Ivan at
all, IIUC.

I don't think so.

Yes.

I did recommend this. I have yet to see a response, or an answer to the
questions I asked:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-06/msg00279.html

There is an internal, 300 second timeout in bzr since 2.5.
If clients are _idle_ for more than 300 sec, they get disconnected
(so maybe the exec timeout thing isn't needed any more).
That is what is happening in this case AFAICS:
