Has anyone seen or written a reliable, easy to use, set of routines
that implements process-blocking (as opposed to spin-blocking) semaphores?
I am not satisfied with System-V semaphores, especially the fact that they
stay around after all participating processes expire.  

I would like something similar to what Encore Umax has done or what
is advertised for the future UNIX BSD implementation of shared memory
facilities (mcall, msleep, etc.).

Please mail responses to me and I will post a summary.
