This patches fixes a possible overflow of the optional timeout parameter for the select() function (selectmodule.c). This timeout is passed in as a double and then truncated to an int. If the double is sufficiently large you can get unexpected results as it overflows. This patch raises an overflow if the given select timeout overflows.
Note: these values reflect the state of the issue at the time it was migrated and might not reflect the current state.
