SUMMARY
When using vmware_guest_info, we ran into situations where the module does not return results for hours or days. We have a scheduled job, that uses the module to receive VM Informations every night, where it sometimes "get stuck". As there is no timeout, we don't know if it's a network issue or a programmatic error.

EXPECTED RESULTS
Their should be a timeout with a meaningful error message, stating if the error is related to network issues or e.g. an unterminating loop inside the module.

The module does not return anything unless manually stopped.
