 Sometimes modules simply hang waiting for a blocking read forever, mostly
 because they expect some answer from another module that either crashed or
 is looping. Either way this is a programmatic error, but other modules
 should at least be able to recover from this.

 So we need timeouts in or below the recvmsg() calls (both in c++ and
 python).

 And of course the callers should be able to handle whatever exception is
 raised.
