Assuming this is a genuine timeout error and not the target  
application unexpectedly quitting while handling an event [1], you can  
modify the timeout delay by adding a 'timeout' keyword argument to  
your command. See Chapter 11 of the appscript manual for details.

incorrectly as connection invalid errors (-609).
