Bug#520323: wrong exit code when timeout not reached: tmp FIX
O Hai!
Because it doesn't look like the exit status problem of timeout command
is going to be fixed anytime soon, this bug has been open for > 6
years??, I patched the source myself using a patch by Drake Diedrich.
I've confirmed the patch works nicely and am currently using it in a
production environment.
I am a complete noob when it comes to this stuff, but maybe someone else
is even more noob and finds my patch handy :) Check the link below for
complete documentation what i've done and links to .deb packages for
Lenny i386 and amd64 distro's.
