The quit test uses this feature. Not sure if other tests do as well. What happens if the REQ is lost ? Why would someone want an infinite timeout ?
We interpreted the above to mean "give the connection protocol as much time as it needs to establish a connection, but don't mask errors (no path to the remove node, etc.)". For that reason we changed the variable name to DAT_TIMEOUT_MAX.
