    Problem Summary TSD4C.00141 This test may fail on implementations where sleep is a shell utility builtin.
    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations where sleep is a shell
    utility builtin.

    The test invokes sleep as the process to check for the command name
    and argument. sleep is a builtin in our version of the shell
    and so does not show up in the ps.

    The test was changed in VSC4.1.5 to try and fix this, but the
    change to use the "command" utility to invoke sleep, only
    overrides any function definitions, and not the builtin (see
    IEEE Standard 1003.2-92 Page 841 which has an illustration
    for ls).
