Hello In 1.7.24 and 1.7.25 sem_getvalue() returns the current value instead of setting the out-parameter and returning 0/-1 for success/error. I attached a simple fix. I don't know if this should be further improved by setting errno to EINVAL if STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE == status. Unfortunately I wasn't able to run and extend the unit tests. Running "make check" fails with "No rule to make target `dataascii.o', needed by `libltp.a'". The VPATH seems to be extended correctly.
