Bad changelog:  Just say that this is a whitespace adjustment.

Your MUA inserted line wraps where there should none.  This won't apply
as a patch anymore.

Should IMO be	(unsigned long)elapsed : (unsigned long)-1l);

or simply stay as it was.

But more importantly, the whole expression looks bogus to me.  elapsed
is an u64 and thus clearly defined regarding its size, while unsigned
long will have different sizes on different CPU architectures.

Is this intentional?
