>From fc-cache.c:
/*
* Now we need to sleep a second (or two, to be extra sure), to make
* sure that timestamps for changes after this run of fc-cache are later
* then any timestamps we wrote. We don't use gettimeofday() because
* sleep(3) can't be interrupted by a signal here -- this isn't in the
* library, and there aren't any signals flying around here.
*/
/* the resolution of mtime on FAT is 2 seconds */
if (changed)
sleep (2);</pre>
