TypeError when using soft_timeout or timeout on Pool

[murrple-1]

When calling code like

with Pool(job_data.n_cpu, timeout=5) as pool:
    results = pool.starmap(long_running_calculation, [...])

or

with Pool(job_data.n_cpu, soft_timeout=5) as pool:
    results = pool.starmap(long_running_calculation, [...])

we are seeing errors like this:

Thread 'TimeoutHandler' crashed: TypeError('can only concatenate list (not "int") to list')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/billiard/pool.py", line 503, in run

           ^^^^^^^^^^^

TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "int") to list`

Please advise?

Do you want to contribute a fix?
I’ll help review it and release a new patch version afterward.
