I'm curious to know how well other operating systems handle the timeout. So, if you have access to some unusual operating system, could you try the above program and report back what value is printed?
I don't know how useful Windows numbers will be, since Windows timeouts are implemented differently, but Win64 is sort of unusual....
Windows Vista SP1, 64-bit, Intel Q9450, native 64-bit: 66. I also ran a 32-bit Gambit executable under WOW64 on the same system and got the same result.
In comparison, an extremely un-unusual Windows XP SP3 on a Intel T7250 yielded 65.
