Whether this is the right result is very debatable. 0x80000000 is a
binary representation of -2147483648:
```
(gdb) ptype cur_timeout
type = int
(gdb) p cur_timeout = 0x80000000
$1 = -2147483648
(gdb) p/x cur_timeout
$2 = 0x80000000
```
So what you propose to return is -(-2147483648). For some users this
may be a wanted result, for some it may be not. Personally I would
prefer to get an ERROR in this case. And this is exactly how you end
up with even more flags.
I believe it would be better to let the user write the exact query
depending on what he/she wants.
