But it doesn't forbid the check.

Well, and the sys-call actually does not fail with a *timeout* - which is indicated with a return value == -1 and errno == ETIMEDOUT if I read http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/mq_receive.html correctly - but with some another error - return value == -1 and errno == EINVAL. So the first quoted sentence actually doesn't apply IMHO. The test description in the second comment on http://ltp.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=ltp/ltp.git;a=blob;f=testcases/open_posix_testsuite/conformance/interfaces/mq_timedreceive/10-2.c;h=49ee4f243fc5046a965a551650d8697217faac35;hb=HEAD reparaphrases the above quoted part incorrectly IMHO. The test implements the description at the top though.
