Sleep on windows returns nothing as well as some other platforms.

The result of sleep is actually platform dependent (NULL/FALSE or 0/FALSE).

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

After quick discussion on IRC;
Windows does actually have a way to provide the same functionality as, f.e., 
Linux by using SleepEx().

Re-classifying as php-src bug & assign to Pierre.
