Why not try Morse Code instead?

Inexplicable Windows error message of the day, seen when the connection was interrupted while trying to copy files to a network drive:

“The semaphore timeout period has expired.”

I understand why the message happened in this case, but what in the world is a semaphore timeout period? Apparently it’s a fairly common error, too… but it’s just so cryptic.
