New submission from Yury Selivanov <yseliva...@gmail.com>:
asyncio documentation has this bit on timeouts:
Timeouts (relative *delay* or absolute *when*) should not exceed one day.
Victor told me that the actual reason for this recommendation is a limitation
in epoll (or other OS/selector) that prevents us from waiting for events longer
than a day or so.
The solution to this problem is simple: we need to cap the maximum time we pass
to the "selector.select()" function (in base_events.py/_run_once) to one day.
