Commenting or uncommenting the variable declaration is just changing
the random values that are on the stack when sem_open is called.  In
this case I expect it happens to be changing the values between valid
and invalid ones.

Failing to pass required arguments to a variadic function gives you
random behaviour, and that is just what you are seeing.
