Is it conceivable that dumping this module actually takes more than 60 seconds on this system?

Yes it is. This particular system is an ARM9, 400Mhz with 64MB of ram.

When running with --verbose, how much time on average passes between each line is printed?

It doesn't print this time, so I need to guess,

Calendar modules take about 2~3 seconds. The Protocols.pmod (recursion) takes more then 60 seconds.

You could try altering the alarm(60) in dump.pike, either increasong the timeout or removing the call altogether, to see what happens.

I first tried alarm(120), but that failed at: #### /usr/lib/pike7.8/7.4/modules/Stdio.pmod/module.pmod: Dumped. Alarm clock

I've then disabled it, and dumping proceeds.

Thanks
