A negative timeout value. This seems to happen from time to time, I
don't know the reason for this. The places where this procedure is
called are the srfi-18 API functions, so this already is an invalid
argument passed to library functions. There are some lowlevel eggs
like sendfile that call these internal blocking-procedures, IIRC, and
there also incorrect timeout-argument values are possible.
