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.
