Tim Peters added the comment:

Oops!  The docs are wrong - a negative timeout actually raises:

ValueError: timeout value must be strictly positive

unless the timeout is exactly -1.  All the more reason to ensure that a 
negative waittime isn't passed.

I opened a different issue about the doc glitch.
