Try this instead:

 <extension
       point="org.eclipse.ui.editors.templates">
    <template
          contextTypeId="org.eclipse.cdt.ui.text.templates.c"
          description="How to create a binary semaphore"
			id="de.siemens.rmos.crossdevel.templates.RmCreateBinSemaphore"
          name="RmCreateBinSemaphore">
         <pattern>
       /* I'm not sure how to do this :-) */ ${cursor}
       	</pattern>
    </template>
 </extension>

Check out the documentation that comes with Editor/Templates for more details
on the extension point(or RTFM, F for Fine).

I have to agree, the implementation is fragile, if a third plugin do something
bad ... nothing works.
