usleep from coreutils != usleep from redhat

[Terry Chan]

Never mind, I see now the usleep patch to coreutils that you are referring to.
All of my coreutils were compiled before sofar added the usleep patch.

Maybe as sofar why he felt it was necessary to patch coreutils?  I've been
running for a half-year with no usleep and haven't noticed it yet.
