QWaitCondition::wait has a unsigned long parameter for the timeout. The documentation said, that the thread will waitfor the condition at least this time (in milliseconds). But if you call this method with a value greater than INT32_MAX on a 64Bit machine (where unsigned long is 64 bits) the function will not wait the expected time. If you call it with INT32_MAX for example, the function will return immediately (with false).

The timeout parameter is internally converted into an int (which is 32 bit on a 64 machine). This results in a timeout of -1ms.
