Are you using the latest libcurl and c-ares? If so, can you provide us with the source for an app that repeats this problem?>>>>I am using latest curl and ares builds .The timeout  is working fine if the resolver network is reachable (configured in resolv.conf).In this case we recieve some data from resovler server and multi perform in again called  which calls the resolver functctions if the timeout has occured or not.Is time out handled in case the resolver network is unreachable There is no response from the resolver as the resolver network is not reachable..Due to which the file descriptors for which i registered for response are!
  not receving any response and multi perform function is not called .Since multi perform function is not called , the timeout is not handled. The only change i have done is to reproduce this is i am configuring my resolver to an u nreachable network. For a resolver  which is reachable, timeouts are working fine. -- / daniel.haxx.se
