Comment 5 for bug 403808

The sleep(0.1) described above (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fail2ban/+bug/403808/comments/2) appears to work on both my Karmic and Lucid boxes. I don't mind adding a few seconds to booting. But this does seem like a brittle fix. A better solution would be a handshake with a finite timeout before logging an error.
