Ok, I see the problem now. The only alternative I can think of is to try 
to open the object with the GENERIC_WRITE access right and implement 
generic mappings for each object (these mappings are really needed 
anyway for other situaitons).

You could refactor the function so that the wait_on bit is separate. 
That seems to be the only thing you have to do before signalling the object.
