Well, the test works the same way on a random version of Red Hat
thus glibc appers to work the same...

I think all tests using SysV IPC need to be stuctured so that
the main process starts N children to conduct the test.  The main
process is written so that abort is never called and it may
always cleanup the semaphore.  Appears to affect only a small set
of tests.

PS, I suppose this is moot when all tests actually pass.

Agreed, I will work on that now that we know why I saw semaphore
usage failure. ;-)
