Hi,
While trying to port xtermcontrol, I found a problem
where it would hang. Turns out, there is a small
one-liner that appears to be something that was
missed when the code either written, or later
enhanced. The code currently breaks the handling
of the case of MIN==0, TIME > 0. The call never
returns because waiter is incorrectly being set to infinite.
Patch is included below:
