You removed this above comment... please check why it's there. The
relevant revision seems to be:
###
commit 2908a838ac2cf8cdccaa115249f8399eef8a731e
Author: Tom Lane <t...@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Date: Thu Oct 24 23:35:55 2002 +0000
Code review for connection timeout patch. Avoid unportable assumption
that tv_sec is signed; return a useful error message on timeout failure;
honor PGCONNECT_TIMEOUT environment variable in PQsetdbLogin; make code
obey documentation statement that timeout=0 means no timeout.

I vaguely recall tv_usec only being required to hold values up to
1000000 by some standard. A signed 32 bit value would qualify, but only
hold up to a good half hour worth of microseconds. That doesn't quite
seem enough to calculate finish_time the way you are proposing to do it.

I think that's incorrect on a platform where tv_sec and/or tv_usec is
unsigned. (And the cited commit above indicates there are such platforms.)

Not so fast, cowboy... :-)
