Any and all uses of "sleep" are wrong. Given that they are wrong, who cares if 
they sleep for 14 milliseconds too long?

Now, the question is how WaitFor{SingleObject,MultipleObjects} are affected. 
Does this mean that asking for a timeout of 2 milliseconds could result in 
being 13 seconds too late?
