It might be the case.  Timeout logic is tricky, and no one has done much
with the ct-lib code since I re-wrote the libtds layer to correctly handle
timeouts (for the first time) in db-lib.  What ct-lib needs is someone
with interest and knowledge to apply himself to the problem.  

What you could do is add a src/ctlib/unittests/timeout.c to demonstrate
the problem.  That could be used to verify it and perhaps spur someone
into fix it, if fixing it needs.  

HTH.
