Hello Alan,

the patch replacing noop by void is fine, of course. Concerning the
change of thread-sleep!/ms I have the same doubts as you: It should
really be possible to sleep less than a second waiting for database
locks, so the computation inside thread-sleep!/ms would have to be
changed to return a floating point number. I guess it is best to
remove the declaration of fixnum arithmetic.

Ciao,
Thomas
