Can you send the exact text of the assert? I suspect you are hitting the 60 second timeout in the IPC pipe logic on the client (if for example, you break in the debugger for a while). The Friends Beta release should NOT have this problem (we moved from a purely time based assert to a queue depth warning which shouldn't trigger in normal operation).
