Semaphores getting created, thus blocking start of Webserver ctl

I am using Solaris 9 system and IBM HTTP Server 6 for my webserver. Semaphores with webadmin and root privileges are getting created more often and blocking the start of webserver ctl instances. I use 'ipcs -s' to list them and 'ipcrm -s' to kill them one by one.

But even after killing, a new batch of them reappear again. Plz help !!

Thanks

NAME
ipcrm -- remove the specified message queues, semaphore sets, and shared segments SYNOPSIS
ipcrm [-W] [-v] [-q msqid] [-m shmid] [-s semid] [-Q msgkey] [-M shmkey] [-S semkey] ... DESCRIPTION
The ipcrm utility removes the specified message queues, semaphores and shared memory segments. These System V IPC objects can be specified by their creation ID or any associated key. The following options are generic: -v If specified once with -W or with -1 for an object, it will show all removed objects. If specified twice with -W or with -1 for an objects, it will show all removed objects and all failed removals. -W Try to wipe all specified message queues, semaphores and shared memory segments. -y Use the kvm(3) interface instead of the sysctl(3) interface to extract the required information. If ipcrm is to operate on the run- ning system, using kvm(3) will require read privileges to /dev/kmem. The following options are used to specify which IPC objects will be removed. Any number and combination of these options can be used: -q msqid Remove the message queue associated with the ID msqid from the system. -m shmid Mark the shared memory segment associated with ID shmid for removal. This marked segment will be destroyed after the last detach. -s semid Remove the semaphore set associated with ID semid from the system. -Q msgkey Remove the message queue associated with key msgkey from the system. -M shmkey Mark the shared memory segment associated with key shmkey for removal. This marked segment will be destroyed after the last detach. -S semkey Remove the semaphore set associated with key semkey from the system. The identifiers and keys associated with these System V IPC objects can be determined by using ipcs(1). If the identifier or the key is -1, it will remove all these objects. SEE ALSO
ipcs(1) HISTORY
The wiping of all System V IPC objects was first implemented in FreeBSD 6.4 and 7.1. AUTHORS
The original author was Adam Glass. The wiping of all System V IPC objects was thought up by Callum Gibson and extended and implemented by Edwin Groothuis. BSD
