Right, I suspect that you just weren't quick enough that time ;-)

Could you confirm a few things for me:

 - what kind of machine is this? PC, Mac, emulated? virtual machine?
   etc.

 - how are you running the "sleep" and "kill" commands? from X? from a
   getty? from ssh?

Could you run a "sleep" as before, and this time "cat /proc/PID/status"
from another terminal and attach that.

Thanks,

Scott
