I have to say that I do not quite understand why this even falls into the
category of a bug. It seems like the circumstances that would trigger it
would almost have to be intentional, at which point, if the person really
had a desire to do what they are doing, all they have to do is make their
script sleep. I do not see the real world case where someone would run
into this bug.
Along that same line of reasoning, I do not understand why the current
code attempts to "sleep" in the first place. If that code is only there
to handle this kind of edge case, why even have it all?
