Actually, my guess would be that the error is caused by a busy machine, 
perhaps due to backups or some other heavy duty cron jobs running.

I have seen heartbeat timeouts (that's what the {timeout,running} error 
is) getting triggered under those circumstance on a customer system.

If so then the solution is to either increase the heartbeat interval or 
turn off heartbeats altogether (by setting the interval to 0 in the client).
