 We use sem_wait() also in the io-layer (through the MONO_SEM_WAIT
 macro), so we'll probably need similar fixes there, too.

+If sem_wait() can fail like that someone ought to submit a
+documentation bug to the glibc people:
+
+"- Function: int sem_wait (sem_t * SEM)
+     `sem_wait' suspends the calling thread until the semaphore pointed
+     to by SEM has non-zero count. It then atomically decreases the
+     semaphore count.
+
+     `sem_wait' is a cancellation point.  It always returns 0.
