[ceph-users] libcephfs init hangs, is there a 'timeout' argument?

Libcephfs's 'init' call hangs when passed arguments that once worked normally, but later refer to a cluster that's either broken, is on its way out of service, has too few mons, etc.  At least the python libcephfs wrapper hangs on init. Of course mount and session timeouts work, but is there a way to error out a failed init call and not just hang the client? Thanks!
