Re: Mac issues

Hi

Specific comments and pitfalls:

   1. The thread function sem_init is not implemented on Darwin
whereas the functions sem_open/sem_close is not implemented on Linux.
That's why there is some juggling with the initialization of the
semaphores in the code.

That seems to be the reason its not working, at a point at the correct fix.

Thanks

Neil
