timeout: failed to run command `.': Permission denied
timeout: failed to run command `no_such': No such file or directory

The execution log shows these details:

expr: 4294967295: Result too large
+ timeout d sleep 0
timeout: invalid time interval `d'
Try `timeout --help' for more information.
+ test 125 = 0
+ fail=1

The expr command failed:
$ /bin/expr 4294967295 / 86400 + 1
49711
$ ../src/expr 4294967295 / 86400 + 1
../src/expr: 4294967295: A return value of a math subroutine is not within 
machine precision.

This error comes from expr.c:478.

Is 'expr' required to recognize integers outside of the 'int' range?
If yes: bug in 'expr'. If no: bug in the test.
