If the loop does not break, i will have a value of MAX_TIMEOUT_INDEX + 1,
or 2, pointing after the end of the table. That should never happen,
but still ...

I preferred the earlier version, where you had an extra function.
Only my suggestion was to have that function return MAX_TIMEOUT_INDEX
instead of an error. Alternatively, the check above needs to be
"i < MAX_TIMEOUT_INDEX".
