sem_acquire() function has this behavior:

After processing a request, any semaphores acquired by the process but not explicitly released will be released automatically and a warning will be generated. 

This is not a great thing, infact in this way the readers/writers classical IPC problem, with writers precedence is impossible to implement !!!

I think an option to disable autorelease is usefull.
