Antony,

Thanks for reporting this.  I don't have a 64-bit Linux available for
SBCL 64-bit testing, so you are on the front line here!

I've updated both portable-threads.lisp and
test/portable-threads-test.lisp in SVN (and created a new archive file),
that should address the most-positive-fixnum sleep issue.

Please let me know if your machine still freezes at 10000 with the new
files.  If it still does, I'm curious as to where between 1000 and 10000
it fails. (Is 5000 OK?  If not, 2000? ...)

Also, please let me know the value of *features* on your SBCL.

Thanks again!
