I have another unrelated defect. I think the lower bound of "zero"
time for repeating a query is too low -- I made a bad query and ran it
against my local machine and my terminal was flooded with some kind of
output (maybe a NULL byte per iteration?). I couldn't look too
carefully, because it basically hosed that terminal session almost
instantly. Also, because the interrupts are enabled only during the
sleep section (this may also be a defect), I couldn't send SIGINT very
well. I think. My computer was struggling, in any case.

Deceptively, this would not occur on any database that was remote,
because you'd get at *least* a millisecond of delay.
