... but the problem isn't the "sleep" builtin, it's the wrapper script
("alias.sh") which uses the tilde ('~') and the shell tries to expand it
(which leads to a call to |getpwnam()|). That's an unintended
side-effect.
Which OS/Net build do you use right now (I'm trying to figure out
whether your system has the fix for
