I guess that sleep-for was intended.  Tramp also had sit-for for some
years, before I discovered the problem and changed it to use
sleep-for, instead.

Of course, the sleep-for can also probably be dispended with.

However, the fact that there is a blue moon comment there leads me to
thinking that before trusting any changes we need to wait for the
next blue moon.  Does anyone know when is the next blue moon?  :-)
