Since Apache 2.0.46, mod_watch has no longer worked. The apr_global_mutex_child_init() consistantly fails and now I'm finally trying to get mod_watch/4 working again.
Exactly what fails? (which syscall fails with which errno)
Can any one enlighten me as to what changed in Apache 2.0.46 APR to cause this to happen?
The only thing I see related to mutexes between 2.0.45 and 2.0.46 is
Don't segfault trying to close a file in error paths of flock and fcntl mutex creation.

which doesn't seem a likely candidate for causing something to fail.
Get a syscall trace to see what is happening in the child, and maybe compare your mutex setup logic (parent and child) with what happens in standard Apache modules.
