If you had a compiler, then doing the following would help us eliminate already handled issues: wget http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.6.tar.gz gzip -dc coreutils-8.6.tar.gz | tar -x cd coreutils-8.6 ./configure --quiet && make strace -e nanosleep src/sleep 9999999999 If not then an strace of the existing binary would help strace -e nanosleep sleep 9999999999 I tried the command on 32 bit FC5 (coreutils-5.97, kernel-2.6.17) without issue. cheers, Pádraig.
