Rightfax Cannot create another system semaphore error

Question

I'm having an issue connecting to a rightfax inbox via the RFCOMAPILib in .net. After defining the FaxServer I call get_User(userID) to create the User object.

C#

User u = m_faxServer.get_User(inbox.UserID);

In the object's properties is the error:

CheckForNewFaxes = '(u).CheckForNewFaxes' threw an exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException'

base {System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException} = {"Cannot create another system semaphore."}

I think this is an issue with all of the server resources being occupied but am not sure. I have tried different inboxes on the same server and gotten the same response. Can anyone tell me how semaphores relate to this issue?

Thanks

You're asking about a very specific problem with a product. Don't you think it would be better to ask RightFax about this?
