Yep. I'll fix it in my respin. Besides, I found out that rpl_nanosleep
needs the same bug fix, and not only that, but it has a logic bug - it
ignores EINTR, forcing the sleep to last until a fatal signal or the
entire time has elapsed, on systems where the remaining time properly
decreases. Worse, it goes into an infinite 100% CPU busy loop on cygwin
1.5.x (where the result is always -1 for EINVAL on large enough time, and
the time remaining never decreases). Note, however, that my claim that
rpl_nanosleep is broken is by inspection only, since I don't want to wait
7 weeks to prove that 'sleep 50d' will eventually exit ;)
