In case anyone using OS X does not already know, the Apple feedback
page is easy to find:
www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Apple probably have some sort of threshold for numbers reporting
problems/bug fixes before they act. So the more, the merrier.

The reason for this is the crippled implementation of POSIX
semaphores (sem_t) on OSX:
1. Only named semaphores (i.e. having a file system name)
are available.
2. The sem_init() function does not work.
3. The sem_getvalue() function does not work.
Has this been officially reported as a bug with Apple?
I don't know, but a Unix based OS without a full sem_t is
like a French typewriter without accented characters, so I
guess it has been reported by now.
Probably for Apple it's not a bug but a feature, and it may
be one designed to discourage porting of non-Apple software
to OSX.
Anyway OSX users should complain about this.
