<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been testing the timer:sleep/1 function and I
have some troubles with some values passed to the function. In the test I
start n process and each process make a loop sleeping for x
milliseconds. Below I show the example.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I run the test with sleepTest:start(100, 999)
the test work fine, but if I run with sleepTest(100, 1000) the erlang process
consume 100% cpu :(</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is this a bug? Why with 999 milliseconds work fine
and with 1000 milliseconds no?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In ran the test in a Windows XP with Erlang
v5.4</FONT></DIV>
