Comparing the configuration dumps from avocet's last successful run
and its latest, I see that last successful shows

'wait_timeout' => 0

but the failing run shows

'wait_timeout' => undef

Per the comments in the sample config file:

# max time in seconds allowed for a single branch run
# undef means default, which is 4 hours. For unlimited specify 0
wait_timeout => undef,

I'd actually recommend a setting of a couple of days for these
animals, rather than "0". We've been known to get BF animals
into infinite loops, and if you use "0" then you will need to
clean up such mistakes manually.
