Hello Raphael,

thanks for your report.

I can reproduce the bugreport issue on my box.

I have just double checked: `sleep' seems not to be a shell command,
but it is rather a command-line provided by coreutils according to
the man page sleep(1). From the sleep(1) manpage itself, we read in the DESCRIPTION section (second sentence):

	Unlike most implementations that require NUMBER be an integer, here NUMBER may be an arbitrary floating point number.


So

sleep 0.25

is valid, and I guess that checkbashisms is over reacting here.
what do you think ?

Best wishes,
Jerome
