Ok, good.

This call creates a binary semaphore without a locking protocol which is 
owned by the current task (Init task). If you do not call 
rtems_semaphore_release() for this semaphore within the Init task, then 
no other task should be able to obtain it.

I would debug the rtems_semaphore_obtain() call if this is actually the 
case.
