I think that was the case in Eu versions prior to 2.5.

This is already the case in Eu 2.5. In 'misc.e' it reads:

global procedure sleep(integer t)
-- go to sleep for t seconds
-- allowing (on WIN32 and Linux) other processes to run
    if t >= 0 then
	machine_proc(M_SLEEP, t)
    end if
end procedure

I don't know.
