I got some more information. He was using version 0.3.4, and changed the
following in sapserver.cpp:

- --- sapserver.cpp       2007-03-11 13:20:57.000000000 +0100
+++ sapserver.cpp.patched       2008-06-23 07:40:20.000000000 +0200

                 /* Wait for next sending */
                 if(should_exit)
                     break;
- -                nanosleep( &delay, NULL );
+                sleep(30);
             }
         }

This was just to get the announcement interval correct (for him).

However it was still not clear to him why the original sleep was so
short

struct timespec
              {
                      time_t  tv_sec;         /* seconds */
                      long    tv_nsec;        /* nanoseconds */
              };

This should indicate that the sleep was in seconds. Compilation was done
with GCC 3.3.4 under Linux 2.4.34 SMP.
