title: Gunicorn workers timeout no matter what
body: <p>I'm trying to run a simple flask app through gunicorn, but having my workers timeout no matter what I do. Whether there's activity against the app or not, workers will always timeout after whatever I set the <code>timeout</code> value to. What's causing them to timeout? Requests go through successfully when I make them, but workers still timeout. Here's what I'm running:</p>
  
  <pre><code>gunicorn test_app.py -b 127.0.0.1:8000 --log-level=debug --log-file /tmp/log
   * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/
  127.0.0.1 - - [28/Aug/2014 11:23:50] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -
  127.0.0.1 - - [28/Aug/2014 11:23:53] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -
   * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/
   * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And here's what I'm seeing in /tmp/log:</p>

  <p>As you can see, my worker times out every 30 seconds, even though there's nothing wrong with it. What gives?</p>
