Created an attachment (id=866)
Code demonstrating the issue

Calling Thread.sleep does not suspend the calling thread for the time supplied; the call returns immediately.

According to the documentation of Thread.sleep it receives as argument "The
minimum duration the calling thread should be suspended, in 100 nanosecond
intervals.".
That means that calling with value 10_000 will sleep for 1 millisecond, which
is too small to be noticeable. I tried with 100_000_000 (10 seconds) in DMD
v2.052 and it seemed to be working as expected.

This bug needs more details, as to exactly what is expected to happen.  Not having any details, I can't tell what exactly you expect should happen.

I'm closing this, if you feel it was closed in error, please reopen with more details.  Specifically, you should outline what the behavior currently is, and what behavior you expect.  Also, any evidence showing the erroneous behavior would be appreciated.

As a tip, Thread.sleep now accepts a core.time.Duration struct, which can be initialized with units other than hnsecs.

e.g.

Thread.sleep(dur!"seconds"(5)); // sleep for 5 seconds
