Re: (ITS#4872) Non-portable comparison in wait4msg() (result.c) causes infinite loop

[ando@sys-net.it]

There might be more about this; in daemon.c, difftime() is used to
compute the difference between two time_t, but the result is assigned to
a time_t.  Maybe a negative value cannot be obtained, but in any case
that cast would likely be incorrect as well in systems where time_t is
unsigned.

I'm re-opening this bug.
