:FreeBSD must maintain and correctly apply at process exit the value of
:sem_adj. See the referenced Solaris man pages for semantic details.
In other words, you have no idea whether there's a bug or not. This
is more second hand ( or worse ) information.
Look, I don't have a problem with second hand information - but I do
have a problem with it being put out as solid fact when it isn't.
It's one thing to say that there might be a bug, quite another to start
crying wolf over unproven and unresearched reports. It doesn't do anyone
any good to condemn a system for having a 'bug' when you can't even
describe what the bug is!
