Sleep on windows returns nothing as well as some other platforms.

The result of sleep is actually platform dependent (NULL/FALSE or
0/FALSE).

Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.sleep#Return Values
---
Sleep should return int or possibly boolean false but returns NULL.

Using 
PHP 5.3.3 
Apache 2.2.6
Windows XP SP3

Test script:
---------------
$x=sleep(1);
var_dump($x);  // Outputs NULL. Expected int 0.

Expected result:
----------------
According to documentation $x should be integer 0 or possibly false.

Actual result:
--------------
Variable $x becomes NULL.
