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?
They aren't deprecated, we just don't promise that they are fully
POSIX compliant at this time.
