a few things to try:
* you should use APR_STATUS_IS_EBUSY(s) instead of ... == APR_EBUSY
* after creating the mutex, you might have to set permissions on it:
#ifdef AP_NEED_SET_MUTEX_PERMS
rc = unixd_set_global_mutex_perms(mutex);
if(rc != APR_SUCCESS) {
ap_log_error(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_CRIT, rc, s, "Could not set
permissions on global parent mutex %s", mutex_name);
return rc;
}
#endif
* I *think* that calling the lock functions twice from a same thread
(without unlocking first) can have undefined behavior, i.e. don't do
the lock() just after the trylock() call.
