Bug description: semaphore autorelease can be a bug....
sem_acquire() function has this behavior:
After processing a request, any semaphores acquired by the process but
not explicitly released will be released automatically and a warning
will be generated.
This is not a great thing, infact in this way the readers/writers
classical IPC problem, with writers precedence is impossible to
implement !!!
I think an option to disable autorelease is usefull.
(I sent a feature/change request, but I had no feadback :-( )
