FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_111"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_111-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.111-b14, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
N/A (I think)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When Selector.select(Long.MAX_VALUE) is used, select() returns immediately. I found out that two values not that far apart, namely 850_000_000_000_000L and 825_000_000_000_000L have different behavior - first one causes "select" to instantly return and second one works as expected (probably, it would block for a very, very long time).


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run code provided below.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
select(to) should timeout only after 'to' milliseconds, it shouldn't return immediately.
ACTUAL -
select(Long.MAX_VALUE) returns immediately.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

        while (true) {
            System.out.println(count++);
            selector.select(850_000_000_000_000L); // 825_000_000_000_000L or 850_000_000_000_000L
            Set<SelectionKey> selectedKeysSet = selector.selectedKeys();
            selectedKeysSet.clear();
        }
    }
}

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Set lower values of 'timeout' parameter. In reality anything higher than one minut, so probably 60_000 is fine in most cases.
