mod_fcgid: read data timeout

In the past few days, I have experienced a lot of errors while making/updating a post. It would sometimes time me out. I’ve upped the timeout in mod_fcgid and PHP, but that’s obviously a workaround, not a fix.

Here’s what I see in the logs. As you can see, it only started happening since I updated core recently.

Thanks!
