Semaphor Error?

I've just installed Samba on Solaris-8.  When i start 'smbd' the following errors appear in the 'log.smb' log file:
    # tail ../var/log.smb
    [2000/07/13 13:53:19, 0] locking/shmem_sysv.c:sysv_shm_open(597)
      ERROR: root did not create the semaphore
    [2000/07/13 13:53:19, 0] locking/locking.c:locking_init(174)
      ERROR: Failed to initialise share modes
    [2000/07/13 13:53:22, 4] locking/shmem_sysv.c:sysv_shm_open(544)
      Trying sysv shmem open of size 1048576
    [2000/07/13 13:53:22, 0] locking/shmem_sysv.c:sysv_shm_open(597)
      ERROR: root did not create the semaphore
    [2000/07/13 13:53:22, 0] locking/locking.c:locking_init(174)
      ERROR: Failed to initialise share modes      

I can see the machine in the browse list on my Win98 machine, but can get the (Unix) samba server to accept any
requests.  I've gone through the trouble shooting doc w/ no luck. And havn't found any reference to the 'semaphore'
error. I've checked the entries in '/etc/services' and '/etc/inetd.conf'. And there isn't anything special in my 'samba.conf'
file.

Anyone out there know how to fix this?
