Alfred,
There is a very interesting thread on freebsd-current about
some of the POSIX semaphore code that you contributed to
-current.
You may want to chime in. :)

Look for the thread Posix Semaphores in -CURRENT.
Thanks. :)
It's not interesting it's just a bunch of people wandering around
scratching thier heads without reading the relevant docs and
standards.
Exactly why I don't subscribe to -current.

The name argument points to a string naming a semaphore
object. It is unspecified whether the name appears in the
file system and is visible to functions that take path-
names as arguments. The name argument conforms to the con-
struction rules for a pathname. The first character of
name must be a slash (/) character and the remaining
characters of name cannot include any slash characters.
For maximum portability, name should include no more than
14 characters, but this limit is not enforced.
