Don't ask me for a cite, but I seem to remember something about msleep
only having 20ms granularity. If that's the case, your msleep(10) is
either not sleeping at all or is sleeping 20ms, either one of which could
cause problems.
I'd suggest at the very least verifying your timing using sys_time in the
code. If msleep indeed isn't accurate enough, then you could make some
kind of busy-waiting loop.
