Troubleshooting
Problem
RHEL or CentOS 6.6 (first seen in kernel level 2.6.32-434.el6) contains a semaphore release defect which may cause DB2 connections to hang when the client and server reside on the same host. Remote connections (i.e. through TCPIP) are not susceptible.
Symptom
DB2 connections may hang. If a stack is generated from the application process using gstack, the the stack will show the semop() function at the top.
