/* This module contains the unix-specific versions the microsleep function.
 * There are actually two versions of microsleep defined here, because
 * BSD, SysV, and V7 all need quite different implementations.
 *
 * At this time, the select() call is not (yet) in the POSIX standard, but
 * it is in BSD4.2+ , and SVR4.
 * poll() is SYSV only. BSD has a usleep() function that looks & feels
 * like microsleep(), but implements it using setitimer(). It has
 * (usually) unwanted side effects when multiple timers are active.
 *
 * This version should interact correctly with other timers set
 * by the calling process, and is not interrupted if a signal is caught
