        * condvar.c: Fixed lost signal bug reported by Timur Aydin
        (taydin@snet.net).
        [RPJ (me) didn't translate the original algorithm
        correctly.]
        * semaphore.c: Added sem_post_multiple; this is a useful
        routine, but it doesn't appear to be standard. For now it's
        not an exported function.

+      *      This function posts multiple wakeups to a semaphore. If there
+      *      are waiting threads (or processes), n <= count are awakened;
+      *      the semaphore value is incremented by count - n.
+      *
+      * RESULTS
+      *              0               successfully posted semaphore,
+      *              -1              failed, error in errno
