Hi, I have a problem with Firebird 2.5, and posted the issue in their mailing
list. They suggested that I have to recompile the kernel to allow more SysV
semaphores. Do you recommend this?
Here's a copy of my mail:

No, it's my fault; I checked things on the wrong system. OpenBSD uses
seminfo, FreeBSD uses ipc.
aa the joy of forking :)

You'll want to use either sysctl(8) to change the settings dynamically, or
use /etc/sysctl.conf to modify the settings permanently. I'm not sure if
there's a benefit to rolling a new kernel versus using sysctl.conf, or if
things even work that way anymore.
# sysctl

I'm trying to test a python extension (POSH) that uses semaphores. When testing
I get a run time error that indicates it requires too many semaphores. Is it
possible to adjust the allowed number of semaphores without rebuilding the kernel?
What are the costs of having semaphores ie are they mem
