Hmmm... so people who use POSIX threads have to put every syscall into a loop, ignoring EINTR? 


Every library call that is allowed to return with EINTR must be handled
appropriately.  sem_wait is specified as being able to return with EINTR.
If your program can't handle that it has a bug.

I guess you're right. But remember this is an EINTR because we are single-stepping. Are yoiu saying that one should retry all syscalls on every EINTR? Thanks.
