I've fixed this, pending deployment, which I expect will happen on
Monday.  The fix was to move the process of closing bugs when accepting
uploads from a queue into an asynchronous job.  The only slight downside
is that bugs may take up to a minute or two to be closed after an
archive admin runs "queue accept"; I don't expect that this will cause
anyone any serious inconvenience.

I'll wait until after beta-2 to make sure nothing else crops up during
this freeze, but if there are no more timeouts then I expect I will
remove the old queue script after that.
