This seems unacceptable to me. It means it's impossible to configure a
reporting slave so it doesn't spuriously signal errors if your reports
run too long.
Recall that I am still of the opinion that the only reasonable default
value for this parameter is actually -1. I don't think we should
signal errors for correctly working systems unless the user requests
them in some way.
Was there any discussion about this change? I don't recall seeing it
proposed on hackers.
