There are two common implementations of critical sections in sipXecs:
OsBSem semaphore;

OsLock lock(semaphore);

OsMutex semaphore;

semaphore.acquire();
<critical section>;
semaphore.release();
Is one preferable to the other?
I much prefer the first one, as there is no way to exit the block without
releasing the semaphore (the magic of C++ and auto variables)
