The gremlins are back again  and even with:
> Rem **CG** Added following to try to stop premature SM Timeout. 30-Sep-2011
> Rem        Ref Bug 648360
> SET NSPR_OS2_NO_HIRES_TIMER=1

the sites above are back to premature timeouts.  Sometimes, even get
timeouts with transaction submissions less than five minutes old.

FWIW:  SeaMonkey is reporting itself as:

> Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; Warp 4.5; rv:10.0.5) Gecko/20120603 Firefox/10.0.5 SeaMonkey/2.7.2

Yes, I know its a bit old, but the latest update is on the list for as
soon as I find my 'Round Tuit.'

Any new ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
