Re: BUG #16353: pg_isready timeout is ignored

For pg_isready attempts to make a connection with the sever. If a
connection is not successful and we didn't receive any error response from
the server, it is a fair assumption to make that server is not running. In
this case, it makes perfect sense to not honour the timeout value and
return immediately.

So, this is actually not a bug but rather an expected behaviour.
