FPC's definition of the semaphore struct is probably wrong for FreeBSD. Currently, it's: sem_t = cint; Whereas a quick google search got me here: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/include/semaphore.h?revision=201546&view=markup Which says sem_t should be: struct _sem { __uint32_t _magic; struct _usem _kern; }; This would explain your variable getting overwritten, I think.
