The fopen.c example code contains:

    curl_multi_timeout(multi_handle, &curl_timeo);
    if(curl_timeo >= 0) {
      timeout.tv_sec = curl_timeo / 1000;
      if(timeout.tv_sec > 1)
        timeout.tv_sec = 1;
      else
        timeout.tv_usec = (curl_timeo % 1000) * 1000;
    }

Why is tv_sec clipped to 1 second? Why isn't the value returned by curl_multi_timeout() used as-is (after dividing by 1000)?

Assuming there's a good reason for the above, then is there a case when you would NOT clip the value to 1 second? What case is that?
