RE: Second call of sem_open() takes place

["Awad, Majid" <majid awad intel com>]

Cool.  I verified this fix in nptl 0.27.

Is there going to be a fix for the "more than one slash in semaphore name"?
such as: /tmp/mysemp?

In all of my test cases I created a named semaphore with /tmp/mysemp_<pid>.
In order for me to run the test cases on NPTL system I have to remove the
path name to something like /sem_open_<pid>.

Is this a bug? will there be a fix for it soon?

There were indeed a couple of problems with the existing code.  I've
fixed it now.  But note that your test code is invalid, too.  You cannot
have a filename with more than one slash and/or a slash not at the
beginning.  Thanks,
