Oh it's very simple, we call this a bug :-) The code was written for kernel 2.2 and by then there was no msecs_to_jiffies(). I did a mistake with this +999, the purpose was to round up, but it's not 999 that should have been used, but HZ-1 since the result is supposed to be in units of HZ. Thanks for fixing this one!
