sqlite3 read/write operations time out during writes

SQLite locks tables when performing table writes or deletes.  This 
blocks any reads, writes, or deletes that come in at the same time.

Using CL-SQL, I get frequent timeouts while performing a simple, 
short-lived update on one thread and a read on another.  These are so 
frequent, it appears to me that the timeout is set to 0 msec.

How can I increase the timeout?

It seems like CL-SQL should default to a timeout greater than 0 msec. 
Thoughts?

Thanks,

Walter
