Branch: 


Given this manifest.
<pre>
# cat /tmp/test.pp 
  exec { "dpkg_configure_all":
    environment => "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive",
    command     => "/usr/bin/dpkg --configure -a --force-confold",
    timeout     => "-1",
  }
</pre>

as according to the docs a negative timeout disables the timeout.

<pre>
r...@nigelk-vm1:~/maverick/ruby1.8-1.8.7.299# puppet -v --factpath /nofacts 
/tmp/test.pp 
info: Applying configuration version '1284498507'
err: //Exec[dpkg_configure_all]/returns: change from notrun to 0 failed: time 
interval must be positive

This wasn't the case for 0.25.4
