Actually, I don't think we need to stay portable though. 
The JDK docs say: "Some non-standard implmentation of this method may
ignore the specified timeout."

So.. Presumably, Solaris supports it too. But we don't need to though.

Anyway, this is still better than before when it didn't work at all :)
