Hi

having such  a time-dependent behavior is not nice. It means that the user must
know it, and wait patiently before issuing the command, or in a script
add a sleep
before the command.
The choice is then between adding a warning in the man page ("please
wait at least
a second before executing the command") or adding a sleep inside the command
itself.
Obviously, the second alternative looks much more appealing.

Thank you
