That's probably examples/multiquery.cpp, which had debugging code 
accidentally checked in.  It's been removed from svn.

sleep() is POSIX.  What platform are you on that doesn't have this, 
which is also not Windows?  (We use Sleep() there.)

Shouldn't be necessary now.  We only use sleep() and Sleep().  If your 
platform has neither, we can talk about making an ifdef case to 
implement sleep() in terms of nanosleep(), but I think you'll find that 
you really do have sleep().  Perhaps the examples just don't include a 
necessary header for your platform.
