Silently setting "timeout" as -1 if the specified value is invalid

ACK. Minimal impact (only those doing odd command lines in the first place), and if someone was really relying on '-t -1' as a way to get (effectively) infinite timeouts, they can still get fake it with '-t $((1<<32 / 1000))'. Okay for 0.9.5.
