But none of it contradicts what I said earlier - if platformSleep uses 
the system's default timer (which it should) then the accuracy of C code 
will be no better than the accuracy of Squeak. And if it doesn't, well 
then the code is broken and you should fix it. It sure as hell works on 
Windows (perhaps I can shame you into fixing it? ;-)
