I'm getting segmentation fault with following code:

int
main ()
{
	int val;
	sem_t *sem;
	sem = sem_open ("/tmp/testsem1", O_RDWR | O_CREAT, FILE_MODE, 1);
	printf ("sem = %p %x\n",sem,sem);

        sem_getvalue (sem, &val);
	printf ("val = %d\n", val);
	return 0;
}

O/P : sem = (nil) 0
        segmentation fault.

I could not figure out what went wrong with the code.plz help me out.
I'm using RHEL 3 , kenel v2.4.21-8, gcc 3.2.3

Thanx in advance.
