The parameter should be unsigned integer passed by value (but the
unsigned part isn't what's been causing your problem).  You're passing
it a pointer by value (integer by reference).  The first 4 bytes of a
pointer have always been x'80000000' every time I've looked, so I think
you've been asking to sleep for a loooonnng time.

   QBFC_EXTERN unsigned int sleep( unsigned int );    

H bnddir('QC2LE') dftactgrp(*no) actgrp(*new)
D sleep           PR            10u 0 extproc('sleep')
D  secs                         10u 0 value
