Re: Semaphore error.

As the root user, check out the "/etc/system" file. here is a copy of mine:

• To set a variable named 'debug' in the module named 'test_module' *
• set test_module:debug = 0x13

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=32000000
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=10
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=200
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=70

The "semsys:seminfo_semmns" setting is the number of semaphores in the system. Mine is set at 200. E-mail me if you need any further clarification.
