The problem is that sometimes a process takes a particularly long time. It 
isn't that it isn't working, but rather than since no HTML/XML output has 
been sent back to the browser after a given period of time, the browser 
gives up thinking it is the Gateway's problem. Depending on the process, the 
server may still be processing things in the background. As such, I'd 
recommend waiting 10 minutes (that should be more than enough time for some 
of the longer processes to finish) before retrying with a smaller number of 
records.

GPML,
