As I said in my post, the process is in start-up when I get the error, so I'm confident I don't have a leak at this point. Do I need to call sem_close() even if the process terminates?

You won't need to call sem_close(), but if you're generating the names for your semaphores algorithmically and you might generate many different names, you *will* need to call sem_unlink(). Semaphores are shared between processes, and once created they continue to exist (with the same name) until they're explicitly deleted with sem_unlink().
