BrowseTimeout and BrowsePoll. BrowseTimeout value IGNORED!

I've even simulated a network, not just a service outage by pulling virutal cables.   the queue still disappears after 2* the browseinterval.

I suppose it's time to dive into the source.  I have not tested this with in the subnet using the the browseaddress functionality. I need to cross subnets so I figured I wouldn't waste my time on that.

Searching back in the list. Folks had this problem 3-4 years ago and it doesn't looks like it was ever fixed properly back then.
