I have seen this, too, under SCO. The answer was to reduce the potential number of users in the INIT.ORA script. The maximum number of PROCESSES defines the limit on the semaphore count, or something like that. We knocked the maximum user/process count down from 60 to 25 and sneaked under the limit.
otherwise, we would have required a re-link of the unix kernel: yeccch. hope the above helps out.
