Thanks for the catch.  Actually, it is not so unlikely that someone
would ask the autocorrect to wait longer than a second.

On Linux this is not an issue, but maybe Interix cares.  Posix is
vague and only says "the timeout period is given in seconds and
microseconds", staying silent on what the range of valid values is.
