Using a 32bit value, as implied by using 'int' for the type, limits the mximum timeout to be 2^31-1 milliseconds, which means about 24 days. Believe it or not, people are complaining about this. Changing the timeout to a 64 bit millisecond timeout would lift the limitation from the API's POV. I don't know what limitations exist in the kernel itself. -- ➧ Ulrich Drepper ➧ Red Hat, Inc. ➧ 444 Castro St ➧ Mountain View, CA ❖
