This change:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-06/msg01487.html

Has caused problems with people who set a custom timeout value in .exp files.

Examples include:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2006-08/msg00371.html
and
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2006-08/msg00027.html

Mike's suggestion to do timeout=timeout*2 is interesting, but I don't know if
that really solves the issue. Perhaps the answer that I'm searching for is to
see if timeout has been set, if so, use it. If not, set it.

I'm hoping that some of the testsuite maintainers can figure out a better way
to approach this whole issue.
