You can inspect both values with @code{show timeout} and @code{show
retransmit-timeout}. (These commands are @emph{only} available when
@value{GDBN} is configured for @samp{--target=mips-idt-ecoff}.)
+
+The timeout set by @code{set timeout} does not apply when @value{GDBN}
+is waiting for your program to stop. In that case, @value{GDBN} waits
+forever because it has no way of knowing how long the program is going
+to run before stopping.
