That will of course solve the whole issue cleanly ;-)
Thanks.

True.  However, calling `Sleep' would not solve the problem in this
case, since it has 10-msec granularity, and will not sleep at all if
called with an argument less than that.  udp-serv wanted to sleep for
100 microseconds, so to my eyes of someone who knows absolutely
nothing about the reason for that delay, this looked like `Sleep' will
not solve the problem.
