That's a weird change..  If we can to promote dev_loss_tmo to
long we should just cast it.  And of course we should always ask
us why we got this warning.  If long is 64-bit and int is 32-bit
the warning makes sense, as for every reasonable comparism
the 32-bit timeout can't be larger than LONG_MAX divided by 100 or 100.

But for 32-bit longs it can, so we should keep it, maybe with a comment.
