Hi Jeff.

It has been a long time since I used Pine, but in those days server time
was a more scarce commodity than it is today, and it was common then to
boot someone off after 20 minites to free up the server time for someone
else.  I wonder if this is something that is left over from those
days.  I'm guessing that they probably haven't reconfigured or paid any
attention to that system in years.
