1. Is the IOError somehow explainable? 2. Is the IOError acceptable or a bug? 3. Is the behaviour under MS Windows acceptable or a bug? 4. Since time.sleep() is documented to possibly sleep a bit longer than specified, someone suggested that the overall sleep time could also be truncated to a minimum of zero, i.e. treating negative values as zero.

Please file a bug report at bugs.python.org.
