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.
