+This function is missing on some platforms.  However, the replacement
+is designed to be lightweight, and may round to the nearest second;

 According to POSIX, the @code{usleep} function may interfere with the program's
 use of the @code{SIGALRM} signal.  On Linux, it doesn't; on other platforms,
 it may.
