This isn't really a bug, but a change request.
When invoking top with a very high number as refresh screen interval (s) from the command line, top uses 0 as the interval.
$ top -s 999999999
while displaying, you can exit with CTRL-C but you can't send new commands like a new time interval, or sort order (o) nor quit (q).
I would like to see an immediate exit, when invoked with invalid values, like in FreeBSD.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ top -s 999999999
