No, the nested sit-for calls are NOT running in parallel, because
there's just one thread running them all.  Only the innermost sit-for
is actually "running", in the sense that its pselect loop in waiting
for input.

So what your change does is replace a depth-first sequence of sit-for
with a kind-of breadth-first sequence.  But it's a sequence in either
case.
