If this is running inside cron, can we assume that it is run from a
command line - php myscript.php and that the webserver is not in use in
anyway? I know that Apache has time constraints as well is the reason I
ask.

It looks like your timeouts are being set correctly and I have no idea
what might cause this other than the apache stuff.

have you tried running set_time_linit(60) occasionally in the main loop
to reset the counter?

just a thought.
