I have a large suite of applications compiled on AIX 5.1 using C, C++ and Cobol.

The applications make use of approx 8 semaphores, on AIX 5.1 I have no problem.

Having copied (not recompiled) the suite onto AIX 5.2 I find that somewhere in my suite I am over a period of time creating a large number of semaphores, such that the system limit will eventually e readched, interestingly (or not maybe) the key to the semaphore is 0 (zero).

Anyone seen this before ?

Sorry for the lack of technical info.
