#Exception occurred while waiting for Semaphore:
#
#Is this a kernel related error?
#

Semaphore is a synchronization primitive which has an associated counter
that when reaches zero (0), the next thread that acquires ownership of the
object will lock until another thread releases its ownership.

The exception might have been caused by an expiration in trying
to acquire ownership (e.g. blocked for a long time) of the 
semaphore.  Semaphores are used NOT only in the kernel but in software
that requires the type synchronization.  

What I'm trying to say is, w/o additional information I won't be able to
tell if the exception came from the kernel or from a user app.
