Synopsis: semop() is not wrapped for thread safety in libc_r

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: jasone
State-Changed-When: Mon Jan 3 17:09:39 PST 2000
State-Changed-Why: 
semop() and semctl() do in fact work with libc_r, but they do potentially
block the entire process.  This is a performance issue to be sure, but
the only way to "fix" the problem is to poll.  Since the combined use of
SYSV semaphores and pthreads is of questionable value, and there is no
elegant "fix", and and since this isn't exactly a bug, I'm closing this PR.
