I didn't make myself clear, I guess.  I know what it does conceptually, 
but I cannot find where in the source code the timeout value actually has 
any effect.  Specifically, there is a function 
preferences_get_checks_read_timeout() that finds and returns the timeout, 
but I can't find anywhere that it's called, except for a call to 
initialize its static variable.  Where should I look to actually see how 
this value is being used?

Thanks,
