Sorry, I hit C-c C-c before finishing :-).

Anyway, as I was saying, the current code converts "unsigned long" to
"int", which is a problem itself.  But the main problem is that the code
doesn't seem to check if the cache entry should be infinite or not (as
promised in the comment you mentioned).

I will see if I can work on a patch for this.
