apr_global_mutex_create never returns

[Jeff Walter]

I'm writing an Apache HTTPD module which uses apr_global_mutex_create, 
only problem is the function never returns.  My call looks like this:

rv = apr_global_mutex_create((apr_global_mutex_t **) &strawtable->mutex, 
c->lockFile, APR_LOCK_DEFAULT, pconf);

lockFile is set to "/var/lib/mod_straw/mod_straw.lock".  I would 
appreciate any ideas as I'm completely stumped (that and Google didn't 
help much).
