Description:
Use invalid values for --sleep option in meb-3.6 version
Invalid values can be decimal, fractions, negative numbers or some characters

Pull the latest version of meb from the patch below and follow the compilation instructions from the README file.
bzr+ssh://bk-internal.mysql.com/bzrroot/meb/sbin-repo/single-bin/ 

How to repeat:
Execute the follwoing command

--exec $MYSQLBACKUP  --sleep=2/5 --port=$MASTER_MYPORT  --protocol=tcp --user=root --backup-dir=$BACKUP_TARGET_DIR  backup > $BACKUP_LOG 2>&1

Repeat the above command by issuing the following values for sleep
--sleep=2.55
--sleep=invalid
--sleep=-100

Suggested fix:
Ideally the test should fail for invalid sleep options
