The caller code seems to be:
/*
 * Note: if errStatus is -1 and errno == EINTR then it
means we
 * returned from the operation prematurely because we
were sent a
 * signal.	So we try and lock the semaphore again.
 */
do
{
	errStatus = semop(sema->semId, &sops, 1);
} while (errStatus < 0 && errno == EINTR);

I don't understand. If semop() returns EINTR (value 4)
how can it be detected by the 'while'?
