Are you running the same compiled program? or have you compiled on more than one machine? I can corroborate that there is no problem with sleep() and latest Cygwin dll under WinXP Pro sp2: $ vi sleep.c $ cat sleep.c int main () { while (1) sleep(1); return 0; } $ gcc -o sleeper sleep.c $ time ./sleeper real 1m14.924s user 0m0.030s sys 0m0.030s $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.1 black 1.5.18(0.132/4/2) 2005-07-02 20:30 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin The "sleeper" process used ~0% cpu (as seen), I killed it with ^C after a while.
