DeAllocate semaphore attempted on active semaphore in kernel.

Occurs on:  86 and 286.  This is an Abend error.

Meaning:  The multi-tasking kernel attempted to deallocate a semaphore
          that was no longer needed and found that it was still active.
          This error is the result of a failed internal consistency
          check and should never occur in NetWare.

Cause:  This error could be caused by a memory failure in the file
        server and could be attributable to either a hardware failure or
        poor power line conditioning.  A corrupt operating system file
        might also cause this error.

Solution:  Reboot the file server.  If this error or other Abend errors
           occur repeatedly, reinstall the operating system and then
           check the file server's memory and power line conditioning.
