Clang noticed that some none-zero sleep()s were actually using zero anyway. This switches to nanosleep() to gain sub-second granularity.

Yup. :) Even an empty initializer works ... = { }; (Except that padding bytes aren't always included in the zeroing...)

Interesting bug. If the sleeps weren't doing anything, are they even needed? Does adding the tests cause them to continue to pass, or start to fail? If they weren't doing anything, and the tests were passing, maybe it's just better to remove them?

It was just spinning. This restores the intention of not being so aggressive in the wait loop. While the sleep could be removed, that wasn't the intention.
