 A trackback by WordPress to an external blog can timeout without any
 network congestion. WordPress 2.8.1 timeouts if it has not received any
 response from the receiving system for 4 seconds although some blog system
 can take more than 10 seconds to accept a trackback. If the trackback
 fails, WordPress keeps trying to resend the trackback every time the user
 posts a new entry, but it never succeeds and WordPress keeps resending for
 ever.  It annoys the blog owner whose blog the WordPress is trying to send
 the trackback to.

 I propose that function trackback in wp-includes/comment.php should be
 modified for the timeout period to be extended from 4 seconds (e.g. to 30
 seconds).

 This modification is different from one appeared in ticket #8665.
