This is my fault ;-).  Here, there is no difference between 0 and
TIME_MAX, but elsewhere the code needed

	if (expiry != 0 && expiry < time(NULL))

to see if the entry has expired.  If the sentinel for an entry that
will never expire were TIME_MAX, you do not need the first half of
the expression.

I am OK either way.
