Strange. Just a wild guess: Could it be a permission issue?
Unfortunately, Synchronized.pm isn't printing out a more detailed error
message. Can you change line 127 to

    $sem->remove() || die "Cannot remove semaphore $key ($!)";

and wait until it's happening again? I'll update the code accordingly
for the next release.
