Comment (by igaztanaga):

 I think your questions means a bug in Interprocess. According to

 http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/functions/sem_timedwait.html


 "Under no circumstance shall the function fail with a timeout if the
 semaphore can be locked immediately. The validity of the abs_timeout need
 not be checked if the semaphore can be locked immediately"

 The implementation should not check the timeout before trying to lock the
 semaphore
