  | cast to intmax_t instead of long, since time_t is "long long"

Some of  this is unnecessary, though not technically wrong, Martin's
change was fine, and the same thing I would have done (was doing,
but he got the commit processed first!)

The value being printed has already been range checked, it would
actually be fine to print it as an int.  The same is true of another of
the ones you changed (the 2nd warnx()).   That is, we don't need
%jd to print values that we know are either < 2000, or < 100000.

The first of the 3 warnx's that were altered ought more correctly (usefully)
be printed using %g as is done for the same value other places, I just
had not had any reason to alter that one recently - (that contained the
remnants of the original warnx() from the historic sleep.c which used
(long) for all of these values).   %g produices more rational output for
very large values than %(anything)d does, and it is only when we
have a very large value that there's any difference between %ld and
%jd (as long as the corresponding arg is the correct type, of course.)
