Swish-e doesn't have any timeouts built in.  I think the CGI script
does, though. 

How about some more details.  Like cut-n-paste output from running 
something like:

   $ swish-e -w foo

If that hangs then there's some odd bug and then we will want either the 
smallest collection of documents you can find that shows the problem or 
the index file itself (although the source documents are best).

Is it possible you are running two different versions of swish?

Of course, but you don't really need to bother with WEP.
