Subject: How to change the Timeout::Error threshold for open_uri

When opening a particularly slow loading URL I am getting the following
error:

Loading production environment (Rails 2.0.2)
>> require 'open-uri'
=> ["OpenURI"]
>>
?> open('http://www.wwtdd.com/?start=2331') { |f|
?>   puts "    Opened successfully with charset: " + f.charset
>> }
/usr/lib64/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:54:in `rbuf_fill': execution expired

        from /usr/lib64/ruby/1.8/irb/workspace.rb:52

Does anyone know how to fix this? I want it to wait longer for the web
server to respond.
