It calls for VLC_THREAD_ASSERT that calls vlc_thread_fatal on debug, which in turn calls strerror_r, which fails because the return value is not errno value but instead kern_return_t. ILEoo also mentioned that after semaphore_destroy the condition should be val == KERN_SUCCESS instead of != check.

Last patch was complete crap: in addition to the above, semaphore_destroy didn't reference the pointer, error code path of vlc_sem_post didn't return a value correctly on non-Mac platform. Second attempt included, I used EINVAL for all error cases since it was easy and VLC_THREAD_ASSERT is already there.
