What was the reason for moving the first sleep before the first wait3
call?  It looks like that will force a one-second delay even
in cases where it would succeed straightaway.

Using usleep would reduce that problem to an acceptable level,
but I am not sure all systems have usleep.  So it is risky
to make that change.

What's the issue here?
