No, I haven't seen such a report in some time.

Thanks.   Yes, please test mainline first - it will probably occur there.

And it's a nanosleep(zero) all the time?  The obvious answer would be that
a clock tick came in at the right time and we end up trying to sleep for -1
units.  But if that was the case, things wouldn't unsleep after just
several hours.
