>Originator:     Mike Moreton
>Release:        libgcj-2.95.1
>Organization:
>Environment:
Linux, posix threads
>Description:
If you run the progam attached in the "How-to-repeat"
section, the behavious is different under the Sun JDK and
libgcj.

Under Sun JDK 1.2.1, it's clear that sleep(0) means "sleep
for a very short time", while with libgcj the thread sleeps
until interrupted.
>How-To-Repeat:
public class TestSleep{
        public static void main(String[] args) {
                (new Doit()).start();
        }
}

class Doit extends Thread{
        public synchronized void run() {
                for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
                        System.out.println("i is now "+i);
                        try {
                                if (i==5) {
                                        sleep(0);
                                } else {
                                        sleep(1000);
                                }
                        } catch (InterruptedException e) {}
                }
        }
}
>Fix:
In natThread.cc, in method java::lang::Thread::sleep (jlong millis, jint nanos)
add at the start of the method the following code

  if ((millis == 0) && (nanos == 0)) {
    return;
  }
