watch would only use an interval of up to 4294 seconds and silently change to this limit. The 4294 seconds is 2^32/10^6 or how many microseconds fit into unsigned int. This change increases the limit to 2^32 seconds which is approximately 136 years. This should be ok for now. Anything above the old limit now uses sleep() instead of usleep() which only uses integers (so 9999.123 seconds will be 9999 seconds) This bug was first reported in 2006 and included a patch by Stephen Kratzer. The patch was updated to fit the current source.

This code is intended for use with Linux 2.6.xx, 3.x and
hopefully all future kernels.
INSTALLATION
If you are using git version of the project you need extra step.
./autogen.sh
After that, and everyone using .tar.xz version of procps-ng, can
do normal build. Read './configure --help' to select options for
your needs.
./configure
make
make install
If you have DejaGNU installed you can run optional test suite.
make check
HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
See Documentation/BUGS file.
PACKAGING
If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
distribution, please avoid causing troubles. This section
applies to you.
Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches. Send your
patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
included.
Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
busy enough to bother with, please make this known. Follow
Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
email without need for an account.
For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
to the CFLAGS variable.
