Subject: sleep(3) doesn't sleep well
Package: libc6
Version: 2.0.7u-5
Severity: important
suspending a process, when it sleeps (sleep(3)), terminates the sleep.
cat s.c
#include <unistd.h>
int main()
{
sleep(1000);
return 0;
}
- start the process in the foreground
- suspend it with ^Z
- send it in the background with bg
- the process terminates.

After reading the sleep(3) documentation, it is apparent that you are not
using sleep() properly. Note it reads that sleep() will return 0 when done
or the number of seconds left to sleep. So the snippet below would be the
proper usage:
#include <unistd.h>
int main()
{
int t = 1000;
while ((t = sleep(t)) > 0); /* do nothing */
return 0;
}
Sleep(3) is not required to wait the entire time, so subsequent calls may be
needed to complete the entire time. Closing this bug report as such.
