If you're on 8.1.7.0.0 it may be a bug.
Apply the latest patch.

Veronica,

Oracle on AIX doesn't use semaphores, as AIX has it's own
post-wait driver and Oracle doesn't need it's own, hence
no semaphores.

Details:  
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=15566.1

Any other errors, stuff in the alert.log, etc?

Jared
