Can not bring up bridge interface due to "set forward delay failed: Numerical result out of range" error

Issue

Sometimes it can be useful to set the forward delay of a bridge interface to 0, but it fails due to "Numerical result out of range" error

brctl setfd brmn 0
set forward delay failed: Numerical result out of range

This is strange since this "0" value is set by /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-${brname} script :
STP=on
DELAY=0
