Coverity scan reports: "A time_t value is stored in an integer with too few bits to accommodate it. The expression timeout is cast to unsigned int" We are already casting and storing time_t timeout variable into unsigned int. We can use time_t for timeout and cast it to unsigned long (should be big enough) instead of unsigned int in sscanf, g_strdup_printf as required.
