[issue12459] time.sleep(-1.0) behaviour

The search gives two results, in pycaf and a plone installer (in "compilezpy.py"). I don't know what is the expected behaviour: "infinite" sleep? wait for a SIGINT signal? I'm ok to only change this in Python 3.3, it's not a good idea to introduce subtle differences in minor Python releases.
