The previous version I wrote just had one small bug,
it checked if
ObCreateObject failed to continue initialization and handle creation
instead of checking if it succeeded. I'm going to revert this version of
NtCreateSemaphore as it introduces even more bugs and adds behavior
neither documented nor reproducable. I guess in case an application
failed due to this function it was because of the fact that the function
succeeded and didn't return a handle to a semaphore object even though
one was created.
Well it is a bit unkind to make a new semaphore and not return the handle
to it. Thanks for fixing it the right way.

Here's a simple experiment. Stand on a train track between two locomotives
which are pushing on you with equal force in opposite directions. You will
exhibit no net motion. None the less, you may soon begin to notice that
something important is happening.
