Posix named semaphores are removed during a reboot, which is why the 
reboot fixed your problem.  A reboot is not necessary to clean up a left 
over semaphore.

You can see the current named semaphores and their ownership by doing a 
'ls -l /dev/shm'.  For DS, we create a semaphore named something similar 
to "sem.slapd-localhost.stats".  I believe simply removing this would 
have fixed your problem as well.
