Invalid timeout specified

[gitmagox]

when set timeout = {"1","5000000"} The system is mistaken for "Invalid timeout specified"

if (timeout->tv_usec > 1000000 || timeout->tv_sec > __MAX_MSEC) {
*result = msec;
return REDIS_ERR;
}

Why the maximum value is set to 1000000?

1second = 1000000 microseconds

struct timeval  {  
    __time_t tv_sec;        /* Seconds. */  
    __suseconds_t tv_usec;  /* Microseconds. */  
};  

If you want to set larger timeout value, you can use first field(tv_sec).
eg. timeout = {2, 1000}

I found an explanation, as follows.
deps/hiredis/examples/example.c

struct timeval timeout = { 1, 500000 }; // 1.5 seconds
    c = redisConnectWithTimeout(hostname, port, timeout);
