Simple blocking scheduler on windows (Python 3.3):

scheduler = BlockingScheduler()
    try:
        scheduler.start()
    except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
        pass

throws exception:

File "testme.py", line 291, in main
scheduler.start()

File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\apscheduler-3.0.0.pre1-py3.3.egg\apscheduler\schedulers\blocking.py", line 17, in start
self._main_loop()

File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\apscheduler-3.0.0.pre1-py3.3.egg\apscheduler\schedulers\blocking.py", line 26, in _main_loop
self._event.wait(wait_seconds or self.MAX_WAIT_TIME)

File "C:\Python33\lib\threading.py", line 547, in wait
signaled = self._cond.wait(timeout)

File "C:\Python33\lib\threading.py", line 288, in wait
gotit = waiter.acquire(True, timeout)

OverflowError: timeout value is too large
