I believe the following is a valid scenario:

Thread A:

WaitForSingleObject(hSemaphore) // blocks

Thread B:

ReleaseSemaphore(hSemaphore,1)

Thread C:

WaitForSingleObject(hSemaphore) // returns immediately

Thread A still blocked

I can't remember where I got this impression, and I may be wrong.
