[SNMP4J] Convert long to int?

[PHIL BERGSTRESSER]

Frank,
    I think this is begging the question. There is an SMIv2 RFC
definition for TimeTicks:

-- hundredths of seconds since an epoch
TimeTicks ::=
    [APPLICATION 3]
        IMPLICIT INTEGER (0..4294967295)

    This requires a long to be represented in Java. Your constructor
requires a long which is consistent with that, so I don't know why Joel
is having a problem.
    What he uses it for is not relevant.
