You can keep the error handler resident without reporting the time-out
message pages.  You only need to add one line to it.  It works for us.

     known{nl nl(STACK:)prnt nl nl $error/ostack get aload length{==}repeat}if
%    errorname (timeout) eq {erasepage}  % don't show timeout errors
     {systemdict/showpage get exec}ifelse  

Just add the line beginning with % to your ehandler, it will screen off
all the time-out error.
