This sets sys_xdly (execution delay) to 3/50th of a second. It's used
to improve boot time. BUT, and this is strange, this variable is
initialised to 5 by SMSQ/E for QPC, which is an even safer value than
3. So why patching in 3 should make QLib programs work is currently
beyond my understanding.

Anybody else experiences any problems?
