Hi Steve,

That just means that your FastCGI job hasn't sent a response within 30
seconds, and so it assumes the process is stuck.

You can adjust this with the -idle-timeout option, see:
http://www.fastcgi.com/mod_fastcgi/docs/mod_fastcgi.html#FastCgiServer

Although it may be better to get your report running faster.  If you
use DBIC, you can use QueryLog (which integrates very nicely into
Catalyst) to track down slow queries.
