See my reply to Chris Madden a few moments ago. Are you in a position to 
modify the code and increase the timeout value?

I want to make sure that the timeout is really the cause of the problem 
rather than the symptom of something going wrong that would cause 
wait_for_tables to wait indefinitely in the absence of a timeout.
