btw, boost1.47 has issues with interprocess_semaphore
see boost bug https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4524
I think my patch should not be merged until boost bug 4524 is resolved

I keep an eye on bug 4524 and will drop a note here

Thanks for your information. I also suggest dropping Semaphore class completely and use boost semaphore directly (of course, when the bug is fixed).

As far as I can tell, this is fixed in newer version of Boost (that we are using). I propose we finally apply this patch (included is a diff against the current code base).

the patch submitted by Gennady <https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/attachment/ticket/4524/ipc_sem.patch> has not been applied in the version of boost currently in the DC++ repo.

at a first glance at the file in question, this might affect Windows builds (Windows-specific stuff is within an elif-guard that comes after the if-guard changed by the patch).

Fair enough, I've reverted the code in DC++ (hopefully didn't break the repository).
