hi there,

I'v been trying to find some info as to why semaphores
are considered harmful by the boost::thread authors,
without luck. Is there any concise text describing
the problem ?

I'v been using semaphores for years and can't think of
what should be wrong with it.

Thanks,
                Stefan
