>Description:

just did a make buildowld ; make installworld on CVSup run at 0430h
saturday morning localtime. :)

usleep is not returning proper return codes.  even when it works just fine,
it returns -1 consistently, and appears to set errno at whimsy (i've gotten
35 and 2) ...

also, I appear to be on what I guess to be UTC ... i tried to reset my tz
with tzsetup ... no avail ... I ran ntpdate and things were corrected,
after my X display went blank for awhile.  awhile later the screen went
blank for a few seconds again and I'm back now ... well, should be 0309h
CDT (just should have shifted from CST 0209h ...) 5 April ... date says;
Sun Apr  5 08:10:13 CDT 1998

UTC afaik :)

>How-To-Repeat:

#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>

main() {
	extern int errno;

	printf("usleep return: %d\n", usleep(1));
	printf("errno: %d\n", errno);
	}

I had a program that was running while(!usleep(val)) and is currently
kludged to while(usleep(val)) just fine ...
