RETURN VALUE
       Zero if the requested time has elapsed, or the number of  seconds  left
       to sleep.

It will return non-zero if sleep() is interrupted by a signal before
the requested number of seconds has elapsed.

AFAICT, nothing in GRASS actually uses the return value, so you could
just re-define G_sleep() as void.
