From ISC's (SVR3.2) man page of curses:

	  BUGS

[ ... ]

	       The argument to napms() is currently rounded up to the
	       nearest second.

[ ... ]

	  Rev. Extended	Terminal Interface			    Page 40

Maybe napms() does not round it up on your system, but down?
Who knows? Who cares?

Use poll(2)!

Here is an example:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

/*
 * sleep_ms(timeout) - sleep for timeout milliseconds (USG)
 */

#include <poll.h>

int
sleep_ms(timeout)
int timeout;
{
	struct pollfd dummy[1];

	return(poll(dummy, 0L, timeout));
}

Sorry. It's no code of mine, but I forgot where I got this
from. So I'm not able to name the guy who wrote this...
