The semaphore timeout period has expired

Hello:

In GP 2013 R2 (12.00.1920), in a test environment, I ran check links on the largest company and on the Financial series of tables.

Doing so took about 3.50 hours and, at about 8% through "CM Receipt", I got the following error:

The semaphore timeout period has expired.

I clicked out of the error, and check links went to another set of tables.  It "finished", by printing its report to screen.  The report did not indicate anything out of the ordinary, and it did not reference the error message that I just mentioned.

Now, I did some research and one web page indicated that this is due to an issue with a network adapter.

And, my IT department indicated that they were going to apply some network adapter patches to our infrastructure at about the time that I saw this error.  I'm not 100% sure about that.  But, I have a vague memory of their saying so.

Could that be what caused this error?  Otherwise, has anyone out there seen this error, before?

Thanks!

John
