Yeah, and that came from the SB midi code which I wrote.  I'm plead guilty on
all counts.  But I'm ashamed of putting that delay() there.  But when the hardware
is broken, and there is no way to sleep for a short time in the kernel (which I think
there really should be!!), well, what can you do? :-)
