So on this system `timeout 4294967296 sleep 0` is invalid
but `timeout 49711d sleep 0` is OK?
The apply_time_suffix() function should be returning an
error for the latter case but is not.
I can't see the problem by inspection, so
I need help from someone with a 64 bit system.

I also noticed a couple of other problems in those parameter tests,
fixes for which are attached.

cheers,
Pádraig.

Subject: [PATCH] timeout: fixup invalid parameter tests

tests/misc/timeout-parameters: remove test for invalid
signal number and I don't know what signal number are
invalid on all systems. Also tweak the other invalid
signal check so that the rest of the parameters are correct.
