Queue.get([block[, timeout]]) uses time.time() for calculations of the timeout. If someone changes the system time this breaks. If a timeout of 1 second is set and someone (on a unix system) uses date to set the time 1 hour back, Queue.get will use 1 hour and 1 second to time out. I'm guessing the fix is just to use another library function to measure time, but I don't know if one exists that works on all platforms.
