Well if you recall a couple of weeks back I had a changeset that  
turns on printing of the stack
in message send, so you can see the stack on each message send by  
process.

Mind you'll need to build a VM for this, plus write some code to read  
the log file and
determine how the semaphore signalling is done.

Or of course change the VM to note the excessive semaphore signalling  
and print the stack when it
happens, and as Tim points out use the Special objects array to track  
the semaphore of interest.
