Re: [PATCH-2.4] Fix jiffies overflow in delay.h

[Willy Tarreau <willy@w.ods.org>]

Hi Marcelo,

please forget my previous patch, it would produce tons of warnings on
64-bit architectures. Moreover, I discovered that it was incomplete
and that it was necessary to explicitly cast to unsigned long in the
multiplies.

This one is fine and the equivalent to the one I sent Andrew for 2.6.
Please use it instead.

Thanks,
Willy
