What this means is "it took too long".  Typically when you're testing 
that's not because the server is overloaded but because something your
CGI is trying to do is taking far too long.  Common things are looking
up names in the DNS, accessing a database, etc.  Basically in these
situations you have to try to figure out which bit it is that is taking
so long.
