          Issue ID: 15294
           Summary: receiveTimeout with negative value asserts
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: phobos
          Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
          Reporter: justin at economicmodeling.com

std.concurrency.receiveTimeout claims to not wait if the provided Duration is
negative, but an assert trips if a negative value is supplied.

> cat test.d
void main()
{
    import std.concurrency;
    import core.time;

    auto dontWait = dur!"msecs"(-1);
    spawn(&foo);
    receiveTimeout(dontWait, (int i){});
}

void foo() {}


Using DMD 2.069.0:
> dmd test.d
> ./test
