Bip

in my case, bip doesn't even try to establish connections, if started on my soho router which has not rtc available.
after syncing the time, it shifts too much within select call, (re)connection msec timeout overflows and gets unexpected high values.

debug log:

suggested patch performs timeout range check and fixes the issue
