This might be a per-session cpu time limit. Check 'ulimit -a' to see what
your max cpu time is. If it's anything less than unlimited you need to
put 'ulimit -t unlimited' in a .rc file somewhere, or figure where it is
being set (/etc/profile, /etc/bashrc, ~/.*, ...) and remove it. (The
above holds for bash -- I can't speak for other shells.)
I have been bitten by this limit on one occasion, and saw precisely the
symptoms that are being described here.
