On newer versions of Windows you can find your precision (quanta) by running 'w32tm /query /status' at the command prompt.
As an example, on my Windows 7 machine I get: Precision: -6 (15.625ms per tick) So my NAP command would only work in multiples of 15.625ms. Don't forgot that busy machines *can* affect this as well, as your program might not be put back on to the CPU in time.

That said, you are correct- the oconv conversion was not valid, so the original string was returned. Because UV can show time() and system(12) in milliseconds (system dependent), it would seem to not need a mask for milliseconds.
