But the argument was a perfectly valid one. I am, too, concerned that
second resolution is not optimal any more (it was as long as we needed
just one timeout long enough, but this situation will be changed by
your other patches).

So please extend that patch to change this into milliseconds as
discussed before.

Thanks.
