System: NetBSD macaran 8.99.27 NetBSD 8.99.27 (MACARAN) #50: Wed Dec 5 19:34:11 EST 2018 dholland@macaran:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/MACARAN amd64

>Description:
You might think sleep accepts "m" and "h" for hours and minutes:
% sleep 30m
(waits)
% sleep 5h
(waits)
but you'd be wrong:
% time sleep 1m
0.000u 0.000s 0:01.00 0.0% 0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w
It should validate the input and reject non-numbers.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
don't use atof() where these inputs are undefined behavior.
