problem with semaphores during dump

[!!Tonnere de Brest]

5[gct@cory /home/m/staff/gct]$ pset_info

number of processor sets on system = 1

pset_id # cpus # pids # threads load_av created
0 1 117 141 0.02 06/19/2000 11:23:50

total number of processors on system = 1

cpu # running boot_cpu pset_id assigned_to_pset
0 1 1 0 06/19/2000 11:23:50

18 Rot@cory /#uname -a
OSF1 cory.EECS.Berkeley.EDU V4.0 878 alpha

I think it happens for all filesystems. If we reboot ,
the problem will probably go away for a day or 2.
To repeat the problem, type:

# dump 6udfs 76586 - 61000 /dev/rz8a > /dev/null
...
dump: Cannot get semaphores
get_semaphore(): semget() for fifo_free_semid: No space left on device
dump: SIGTERM received
dump: The ENTIRE dump is aborted

I am wondering if anybody had this problem and how they fixed it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you very much.
