 Hi all. I have a question about sleep and alarm that I was wondering if you
could answer for me. In the man pages, sleep sez:

                                                    ...The actual
     suspension time may be an arbitrary amount longer because of
     other activity in the system.

 Was wondering if this is true for alarm also?
