  I'm running Sun Common Lisp 3.0.1 on mu Sparcstation and linking in code
written in C. One of my c functions calls the sleep subroutine, but the call
to sleep results in no process suspention. i.e. A sleep(5); call returns
immediately. Has anybody experienced the same problem and found a solution?

  Thanks for any help,
                      david walker
