Ok, I see. So the first version of the patch avoids the first
problematic time. For the second problematic time I could prepare a
new patch to:
1) check for the uptime and if higher than some time (30 minutes) to
execute "random_sleep" assuming that the computer was running over
night;
2) check for the current hour and if less or equal to 7 to also
execute "random_sleep".
3) something else that I can't see right now.

Which one would it be good for you to accept in the 'apt' package? Any
other idea?

Thanks
