    Description

      Line 119 is buggy:
      http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/blobs/4.8/src/corelib/thread/qmutex_unix.cpp

      timeout is of type int, so in the most cases a qint32.

      The calculation "qint64 xtimeout = timeout * 1000 * 1000;" will result in an overflow, it timeout is bigger then 2148.

      The solution would be to cast timeout to a qint64 before multiplication.

      This is the right solution but it is not done. Instead there is the fix which was not needed:
      File qmutex_unix.cpp lines 126 and 127:
      ts.tv_sec = xtimeout / Q_INT64_C(1000) / 1000 / 1000;
      ts.tv_nsec = xtimeout % (Q_INT64_C(1000) * 1000 * 1000);
      Here xtimeout is already qint64, there is no need to cast here literal 1000 to qint64.

      Instead line 119 should be patched qint64 xtimeout = timeout * 1000 * 1000;
      Here timeout should be cast to qint64 (see the patch attached)
      We are using 4.8.4 version, but the issue is still there in 4.8.7.
