Thanks ... I applied your changes ... though with quite a lot of  
tweaks/modifications.

The -resourceDataUsingCache: method does not use a timeout, and it  
took me quite some time to work out why the last few tests were  
failing.  In the end it turned out to be trivial ... the respond.m  
test program only ran for a maximum of 30 seconds (the intention  
being that it should shut down eventually rather than leave idle  
processes in the background).  Increasing the lifetime of the program  
to 60 seconds allowed all the tests to run to completion.
