If process-shared semaphores really work, then the above structure is not a pathological case. Effectively, sem_t is carved in stone. So process-private semaphores should continue to have most of their stuff in a separately allocated structure, to preserve flexibility.
There was an inadvertent race in FreeBSD's POSIX semaphores which I fixed in HEAD and STABLE about 6 weeks before 7.2 was released.
I believe process-shared POSIX semaphores now work -- the Python 'multiprocessing' regression test now runs to completion with no errors on both HEAD and STABLE.
