What was the change? I currently lack the time and resources to go 
digging through commit logs for it.

Thanks for the patch. It only fixes the symptom, however, not the 
problem. I still have to explicitly handle timeouts in (for example) 
HTTP requests instead of simply noting a general failure (in a bare 
"rescue" clause), logging the exception and retrying a couple of times 
before giving up and moving on to something else. For most of my use 
cases, this is exactly how I would handle HTTP requests in long-running 
services that require me to keep state.
