[vlc-devel] [PATCH] too long timeouts in win32 vlc_poll

[Mario Speiß]

When vlc_poll is called with timeout of i.e. 5000ms it may happen that the
waiting time might be as long as 2500s ! Probably poll should be called with
the 50ms timeout as many times until the original provided timeout has been
reached.

Regards,
Mario
