I don't think it's a problem. The actual delay is fairly low in practice
(probably less than 50us), and letting an interrupt through prior to the
check for v_numoutput/tsleep isn't likely going to be of benefit (I/O due
to the sync operations would not likely have completed yet). John is welcome
to correct me if he thinks I'm in error...
