*
* NOTE: Although the delay is specified in microseconds, older Unixen and
* Windows use periodic kernel ticks to wake up, which might increase the delay
* time significantly. We've observed delay increases as large as 20
* milliseconds on supported platforms.
*
* On machines where "long" is 32 bits, the maximum delay is ~2000 seconds.
*
* CAUTION: It's not a good idea to use long sleeps in the backend. They will
* silently return early if a signal is caught, but that doesn't include
* latches being set on most OSes, and even signal handlers that set MyLatch
* might happen to run before the sleep begins, allowing the full delay.
* Better practice is to use WaitLatch() with a timeout, so that backends
* respond to latches and signals promptly.
