It may very well be that adding a magic msleep(5) here just Makes It Work, but
I have a gut feeling that it's in the wrong place (for starters, 'online' can't change
during the msleep() unless somebody *else* sets it - in which case the locking
is screwed up as we're not forcing a re-read of the value).  The msleep() probably
needs to be before something else further down in the code (but I have no idea
exactly what).
