+- semaphore changes:
+
+ - sem_post should only wake one thread and only when the state of
+ the semaphore changed from 0 to 1
+
+ this also requires that sem_wait and sem_timedwait don't drop the
+ post if they get canceled.
+
+ - possibly add counter field. This requires reviving the
+ differences between old and new semaphose funtions. The old ones
+ stay as they are now. The new once can use an additional field
+ wich is the counter for the number of waiters
