[SNMP4J] Convert long to int?

[Frank Fock]

Hi Phil,

The problem is, the System.currentTimeMillis() returns milli seconds
(1/1000s) and TimeTicks uses hundredths of seconds (1/100).
The factor 10 makes the difference, but even when dividing
System.currentTimeMillis() by ten, it will by too big for using
the value as a TimeTick.

Best regards,
Frank
