Thanks for reporting this. The issue is valid, i.e., ClientTimeout
changes from an EAP method are not supposed to affect other EAP methods
or even other runs of the same method. However, the proposed change for
eap_wsc.c is not suitable to address the issue; the code there is fine,
the main EAP state machine implementation is the place that is broken. I
fixed this with commit d3e01b9d71046cdf77e4ff4ee6226c9d90d2e549.
