Well the code says:

  nu->timeout = luaL_checkint(L, 2);
  if ((int) nu->timeout < -1)
    return luaL_error(L, "Negative timeout: %d", nu->timeout);

Should that be "<= -1" or "< 0"?

No, -1 means no timeout. It's a special case in msevent_new.

I thought so. I'll add a comment to that code to prevent future confusion.
