Hi,

I'm an ADA noob so please be gentle :) Anyways, I am trying to use
POSIX semaphores by pragma importing sem_init, sem_post, sem_wait,
etc. and it seems everytime I hit sem_init, the program seg faults.
Has anyone ever tried doing this before with any success ?

These semaphores are in shared memory and I believe I'm allocating the
same space in memory as a sem_t type. We are actually trying to
convert from an SGI platform to a Linux based platform, so all the
previous semaphore calls were SGI specific and we were looking to move
to POSIX based semaphores. Does anyone have any ideas how to go about
this ?

Thanks,
Eric
