According to the Linux nanosleep man page, due to the current accuracy of the
system timer, Intel machines only have an accuracy of 10ms and Alpha of 1ms,
anyhow.

I changed this line to

    Sleep(useconds/1000 + (useconds%1000 ? 1 : 0));

It more closely matches the Linux definition of nanosleep (sleeping _at least_
X seconds, barring interrupts).  Linux usleep didn't specify which direction
error would be in, but I thought this made sense.  Besides, it rounds up now,
making it impossible to get zero by accident.

Checked in.
