I recently installed oracle 7.1.4 in my machine and I ran into same
problem. It took me few hours to trace the problem and what helped me
was following change in linux/ipc/sem.c (this is against 2.0.18).
Same change will also work in 2.0.28 (linenumber may differ).
This is quick and dirty hack but it seems to work.
