Except the fact that the calculation being done above is buggy.
Not only do we end up with tv_sec incremented by 5 seconds, but
we also end up with tv_nsec containing around 5 seconds in
nanoseconds, which means we end up with about a 10 second timeout.

I think it would probably be better for the kernel to print a
warning once when noticing over-large nsec values, suggesting a
userspace upgrade is in order, but continue the existing behaviour.
