Did you generate from a *recent* 3.0 image (i.e. with changes up to 3446)?
Some of these come from the Security plugin which was recently added.

How do I do that?

You've got a point there. I can't find anywhere where the value for that 
semaphore is actually used (it's tested repeatedly, but not used as anything 
more than a flag).

It does seem odd, since it returns 1 at that point.

in sq.h, there's sqMouseEvent, sqKeyboardEvent, and sqDragDropFilesEvent.

So it seems like this "Event" support is just for user interaction (not for 
sound/serial/socket).

I'm not sure that the Windows version was actually working with events, 
either. Perhaps Andreas could answer that.
