Giuseppe, can you post your /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf? This shouldn't
happen in the default mod_ssl configuration.

mod_ssl (and various other bits of httpd) can be configured to use
various types of semaphore: these will all be SysV semaphores in the
default configuration, but in non-default configurations, can be files
with fcntl locking. So the rule shouldn't be needed by default, I'm
confused why people are seeing this.
