That may be because of this (taken from GNU Classpath's
vm/reference/java/lang/VMThread.java):

      // Note: JDK treats a zero length sleep is like Thread.yield(),
      // without checking the interrupted status of the thread.
      // It's unclear if this is a bug in the implementation or the spec.
      // See http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6213203

GCJ does this:

if (millis == 0 && nanos == 0)
    ++nanos;

and sleeps.  Maybe...
