One tiny comment. 'sleep' is not necessarily what you want to use in a
multi-threaded program,
as it puts the entire process to sleep. A thread-aware version of 'sleep'
called 'nanosleep' (#include <time.h>)
may be more suitable for you. If I am not mistaken, 'sleep' only operates on
a multiple of 1 second, whereas
'nanosleep' has a much finer resolution.
