Except that does _not_ work in 'with timeout of' . That requires 'seconds'
[or 'second'] as part of the statement. 'minutes' (and 'hours', 'days' and
'weeks') are constants that can be used as a conversion for numbers, but not
in 'with timeout'.
And this works in AS 1.1, OS 7.6.1:
with timeout of (10 * minutes) seconds
