Set your timeout to 4 minutes instead of two minutes and see what, if
anything, changes.
My 'SWAG' is that, '250 OK' having been conveyed, a 'QUIT' will
transpire *before* your timeout arrives, all-hands will stand-down
normally, and the time-on-teat won't be enough longer to matter.
IOW you won't actually reach the 4 minutes, but at least will not have
confused the issue with an extraneous time-out message.
