The loop with the timeout used "while (... && timeout--)", which means
than when the timeout occurs, "timeout" will be -1 after the loop has
exited. The code that checks if the looped exited because of a timeout
used "if (timeout <= 0)". Seems ok, except timeout is unsigned, and
(unsigned)-1 isn't less than zero!
Using "--timeout" in the loop fixes this problem, as now "timeout" will be
0 when the loop times out.
This also fixes a bug in the existing code, where it will erroneously think
a timeout occurred if the condition the loop was waiting for is satisfied
on the final iteration before a timeout.
