std::timer::recv_timeout never receives

[mzabaluev]

The test:

extern mod std;

use std::timer::recv_timeout;
use std::uv_global_loop;
use core::comm::stream;

static TEST_TIMEOUT: uint = 500u;

fn main() {
    let mut (port, _) = stream::<task::TaskResult>();
    task::task()
        .future_result(|p| {
            port = p;
        })
        .spawn(|| {
            debug!("the task has run");
        });
    let res = recv_timeout(&uv_global_loop::get(), TEST_TIMEOUT, &port);
    assert!(res == Some(task::Success));
}

Fails the assertion, and then the program hangs up with:

rust: task failed at 'assertion failed: res == Some(task::Success)', recv-timeout.rs:17
rust: domain main @0x864edc0 root task failed
rust: task failed at 'killed', /home/mzabaluev/src/rust/src/libcore/pipes.rs:314
rust: task failed at 'killed', /home/mzabaluev/src/rust/src/libcore/pipes.rs:314

As a matter of fact, recv_timeout has not been able to wake up on any type of input I have tried.

libextra::timer and libextra::net_tcp are deprecated pending #6435.

timer and net have been removed from extra, closing.
