Subject: Re: Resuming work on new semaphore

In a similar vein, if the caller explicitely kills other waiters before
invoking sem_post and sem_getvalue, it will also reveal an inconsistency with
the new implementation: returned value of 0 will look as if sem_post has woken
some waiters, even though the caller could know for certain that no tasks were
waiting on the semaphore.

Well we can make sem_getvalue return val[0]+val[1] instead... ;)
