Thanks for that. There is a rationale in the documentation, that the 
limit may be changed. This is reasonable. It would be better to give a 
"clock seconds" value instead an offset from now, but never mind.

I will back-out this part from the patch and only keep "after" and "time".

To change a documented feature is nearly impossible...

Thanks for all,
Harald
