I set up an animation of 36 frames, each which was taking ~20 minutes to render.
When I returned hours later, I saw that the render bombed for a message of
"Operation timed out."  The screen was highlighting an include statement.  I
hadn't touched the PC, so the "timed out" shouldn't have been different from
frame to frame.
