If it helps then it's a workaround for problem with Linux kernel
(or glibc nonosleep() implementation) in Centos 5.1 which should
be fixed in this distribution.

You can safely commit it. Using select() in such way is the most
portable method of process freezing for delay less then second in
POSIX systems. So simply change:
#elif defined(HB_OS_DARWIN)
to:
#elif defined(HB_OS_UNIX)
and remove current HB_OS_UNIX section which uses nanosleep() code.
