This is the ChangeLog entry to which I was referring:
PH/45 In a pipe transport, although a timeout while waiting for the pipe
process to complete was treated as a delivery failure, a timeout while
writing the message to the pipe was logged, but erroneously treated as a
successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in
the log output.
I don't recall whether there was a bug number or not, nor do I have any
information about the particular CVS checkin. The current release, as of
last week, is 4.60. The 4.43 release is now over a year old (05 Oct
2004).
