   Raul, please keep these posts on the mailing list.

  That was utterly pointless.  I just told you that I can't reproduce the
problem under cygwin; how on earth is running some other exe that has
nothing to do with cygwin and also doesn't show the problem meant to help in
any way at all?

  That plus I'm simply neither gullible nor stupid enough to just download
and run some potential virus that some completely unknown random stranger on
the internet uploads to some random website.

  I'm running 1.5.18-1 here, and it doesn't have the problem.

  Also, nobody else has reported such a problem.  There's no way that a
function as fundamental as sleep (...) could have been broken for six
versions and nobody noticed.

  Therefore there must be something wrong with your machine.  Probably a
buggy anti-virus or firewall, or perhaps a hardware fault.


cheers,
      DaveK
