The special case where S is the set of all first-order sentences in a given signature is weaker, equivalent to the Boolean prime ideal theorem ; see the section " Weaker forms " below.

If one process is already in the critical section, the other process will busy wait for the first process to exit.

If a critical section is long, then the system clock will drift every time a critical section is executed since the timer interrupt is no longer serviced, so tracking time is impossible during the critical section.

If a precondition is violated, the effect of the section of code becomes undefined and thus may or may not carry out its intended work.
