Turns out B_RELEASE_ALL just works as expected - it was a deadlock by design; when the

cursor thread didn't call acquire_sem() fast enough, it would never get released by
B_RELEASE_ALL (as that only releases all waiting threads), and thus, waited forever
for the semaphore to be released again.
On the other side, the input_server didn't call release_sem() anymore, since the
cursor thread still didn't read out the data after the last release...
