After studying Terry's latest remarks I realize where the real "bug"
is. It seems that Posix semaphores on Mac OS X have limitations, are
not supported and not recommended. Probably their only use is to
allow porting of linux programs.
So the bug is that man pages for the sem_xxx() methods lack a
statement saying that these functions are depracated and not
recommended for new designs.
Would anyone disagree with this?
