Does replacing sleep(5) with select(undef,undef,undef,5) fix it?  I  
also asked on the ticket just a few minutes ago.  If that works, I'll  
patch it up and release 1.021.

I accidentally bumped the release twice.  I originally meant it to be  
1.010.  QA took longer than expected, and by release time I forgot  
that I had already bumped the revision.

This release includes some harsh signals regression tests from POE's  
distribution.  I expect it to cause new headaches for some POE::Loop  
authors.  Signals are often painful to deal with.
