Description:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysqladmin.html says:

 connect_timeout
   The number of seconds before connection timeout. (Default value is 0.)
  
 shutdown_timeout
   The number of seconds to wait for shutdown. (Default value is 0.)

the actual defaults (and max) values are not 0 but

  12 hours (max 12 hours) for connect_timeout

  1 hour (max 12 hours) for shutdown_timeout

How to repeat:
see client/mysqladmin.cc option defaults

Suggested fix:
change documentation to reflect the real timeout values
