Invalid semaphore number passed to kernel.
Occurs on: 86 and 286. This is an Abend error.
Meaning: This error is generated by the multi-tasking kernel and
indicates that the system attempted to utilize a semaphore
number that was invalid.
Cause: This error is usually caused by a memory overflow in the file
server. This error could also 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: To eliminate this problem, reconfigure the network to have
less files open concurrently or add more memory to 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.
