I added informations about FreeBSD, NetBSD, Darwin and OpenBSD to the
issue #10348:
http://bugs.python.org/issue10348#msg125042
The maximum number of POSIX semaphores can be read with sysctl:
- FreeBSD: "p1003_1b.sem_nsems_max"
- NetBSD: "kern.posix.semmax"
- Darwin: "kern.posix.sem.max"
- OpenBSD: (no support)
