#1 (permalink) Tue Jun 23, 2009 8:29 am Meanig of "before he didn't leap up"

'There was a knock on the door. It was still going to be a little time before he didn't leap up and stand at the end of the bed and wait for the door to be opened.' In this context, does 'before he didn't leap up' have the same meaning as 'before he leapt up' ? I have never seen an example where 'before' is used with a negative verb after it.
