Cannot get Next revo template to work with Osclass 3.5.2

[venus]

 I purchased Next revo template the other day.
 I cannot get it to run with Osclass 3.5.2. I get the error:

Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home3/ikpoho/public_html/mortgagefreeads.com/oc-includes/php-gettext/streams.php

All the free templates work with Osclass 3.5.2. seamlessly without error (I have gone back to the bender theme).

I am still working with support to get this to work.

I've been to these web sites. Cannot make head or tail of what they are saying

The 2 sites above suggest that the code snippet below be modified. Can someone check this out for me?
Change the code below to exactly what?

 function read($bytes) {
    if ($bytes) {
      fseek($this->_fd, $this->_pos);

      // PHP 5.1.1 does not read more than 8192 bytes in one fread()
      // the discussions at PHP Bugs suggest it's the intended behaviour
      $data = '';
      while ($bytes > 0) {
        $chunk  = fread($this->_fd, $bytes);
        $data  .= $chunk;
        $bytes -= strlen($chunk);
      }
      $this->_pos = ftell($this->_fd);

      return $data;
    } else return '';
  }

@venus
1) why you do not contact theme author?
2) increase maximum execution time to 120seconds in your PHP settings, this should not cause problems anymore

While tranfering the files to my server I used ASCII mode instead of Auto. That triggered the deceptive error message  Maximum "execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in .........."
I tranferred files again using Auto mode and everything worked like a charm. Error looks unrelated
