[EBS-Linux] The semaphore problem w.r.t. "true background" tasks

[Peter W. <pe...@au...>]

I think that a "flag" based solution to this problem would probably be 
inadequate as there's no guarantee that a task only holds one semaphore 
at a time.  So I think that we should investigate a "count" based solution.
