Description:
------------
Time-out values passed to stream_socket_accept are not always taken into account has they should be.

Values from 0 to 4294 seconds work fine, greater values do not (4295 is equivalent to 0 sec, 4296 to 1 sec and so on).

From current cvs source, it appears that the timeout parameter is multiplied and then cast to an unsigned long which results in an overflow for values greater than 4294:

http://cvs.php.net/viewcvs.cgi/php-src/ext/standard/streamsfuncs.c?view=annotate
line 247 :
	/* prepare the timeout value for use */
	conv = (unsigned long) (timeout * 1000000.0);
	tv.tv_sec = conv / 1000000;
	tv.tv_usec = conv % 1000000;

Note: similar code can be found for stream_socket_client.

Perhaps there are good reasons to not accept such timeout values. In this case, raising a 'bad parameter' exception and a note in the documentation would be better options than silently accept the overflow.

Otherwise, a solution would be to test for big values:
if (timeout>4294){tv.tv_sec=timeout; tv.tv_usec=0;}
else { /* actual code */ }
