[issue20737] 3.3 _thread lock.acquire() timeout and threading.Event().wait() do not wake for certain values on Windows

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

An implicit ceiling of 4000 seconds on the timeout?  I routinely use timeouts of approximately 24 hours in calls to Event().wait().  What am I misunderstanding?  If I'm not misunderstanding, then no, I don't think that change would be acceptable.
