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.

$ top -s 999999999
