Yes, but it's from an erb job run by cron, and that's all I got from cron
It was working fine till I upgraded

Running that command line by hand gives ... no errors now. 
Nothing like a live demonstration of a problem to make it disappear.

OK can I make timeout fail anyway
brains hgs 31 %> vim timeout_error.rb
brains hgs 32 %> ./timeout_error.rb
execution expired
brains hgs 33 %> ./timeout_error.rb
execution expired
brains hgs 34 %> ./timeout_error.rb
execution expired
brains hgs 35 %> cat !$
cat ./timeout_error.rb
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby -w

require 'timeout'

begin
   Timeout::timeout(3) {
     sleep 5
   }
rescue Timeout::Error => e
   puts e
end
brains hgs 36 %>

Apparently not. :-(

Any suggestions as to how I can make the failure more verbose next time
so I can give you something you can use?  If it fails again....
