[PATCH 4/4] lockfile: wait using sleep_millisec() instead of select()

From
Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>
Date
Jun 5, 2015, 19:45 UTC
Message-ID
<983f4b270c5bb8a8c436a5a12be826b16e67c861.1433532968.git.j6t@kdbg.org>
In-Reply-To
<55700F10.8030806@kdbg.org>

Use the new function sleep_millisec() to delay execution for a short time. This avoids the invocation of select() with just a timeout, but no file descriptors. Such a use of select() is quit with EINVAL on Windows, leading to no delay at all.
