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.
