Any values above that + limit are treated the same as -1, i.e. to wait indefinitely. + The limit is given by: + #define EP_MAX_MSTIMEO min(1000ULL * MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT / HZ, \ + (LONG_MAX - 999ULL) / HZ) + That is, the limit depends on the size of a long and the timer + frequency. Assuming the a long is never smaller than 32 bits + and HZ never larger than 1000, the worst case is 35 minutes. + I think this should be mentioned under "BUGS". + Although this is likely to be fixed in the future + (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/8/144), the problem exists in + at least 2.6.14 - 2.6.35.

The GNU C Library manual only documents + LOG_AUTH. The header files contains both without any + comment.
