Indeed. I don't know what these tests are supposed to check. Especially 
the Timer test #5, which fails if the 'Sleep' instruction does now wait 
the specified time.

This is stupid, as by definition, sleeping can be interrupted, and so 
may not wait at all, and the duration of the sleep may be rounded up, 
depending how the system behaves.

I think this test should be removed.
