This patch will increase the time limit before sickel acts from 10 seconds to 20 or 30 seconds, giving a bit more time for slow tasks to complete. It should work with all firmware versions from 4.3.8842 to 4.5.9587.
Thanks for the patch, Geoff. I did experience this phenomena a couple of times on the latest FW. I was blaming the huge size of my books.
