check_procs: Add delay after forking in test
Forking raises a race condition, where the parent might run the test before the child has had time to fork. If that happens, an error similar to this is produced: Failed test 'Output correct' at ./t/check_procs.t line 32. 'PROCS OK: 0 processes with args 'sleep 7' | processes=0;;;0;' doesn't match '/^PROCS OK: 1 process?/' Sleeping a bit should avoid the problem. It might be enough to sleep less than a second, but perl's built-in sleep function only supports integer seconds. In our build environment, the build failed 3 of 4 times before this patch. After the patch it failed 0 of 7 times. Signed-off-by: Mikael Falkvidd <mfalkvidd@op5.com>
