Thanks (again) to Rich for showing on IRC that that still was not correct,
with at least two issues:

1. with one waiter, unwait causes an in-progress post to be lost (perhaps
workaroundable by consuming the post from unwait);

2. it is invalid to update val[1] non-atomically with val[0] in sem_post, as
the semaphore may be destroyed in between by a waiter that noticed the post
via unwait
