Semaphore Lock Failed Error

[Meenakshi Pant]

Our program is failing in creating and acquiring lock on the
semaphore. Created a test program 'semtest.c'. It is creating the
semaphore using the program semaphore.c. Compiled and executed using
the latest CYGWIN- 2.4.1. It is failing at line

if  ((semval = semctl(*id, 1, GETVAL, semctl_arg)) < 0 )

with error no 22.

Code for semtest.c and semaphore.c are attached here.
