Not true. By giving sleep() a relative time, I want sleep() to return
after that time (plus some, due to delay in getting a timeslice). Now,
if the OS API requires an absolute time, sleep() needs to convert to
absolute. If it is interrupted between calculating that absolute time
and the OsSleep(), it just sleeps in preemption instead of OsSleep.
