Summary: socket-connect with :timeout to a dead port

Initial Comment:
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.clisp.general/12286>
Executing 
(socket:socket-connect port-that-no-one-listens-to "localhost") raises "connection refused" as expected, but
(socket:socket-connect
port-that-no-one-listens-to "localhost" :timeout 30)  exits normally
without waiting, and returns a socket.
I expected:
 o To wait for a connection until time ends and raise 'timeout' -or-
 o To raise connection refused in the begining.

but it just silently completes without waiting.
