http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38410 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-02-11 22:42 ------- KB 105678 points out; Deadlock. The Synchronization overview says the following about mutexes: If a thread terminates without releasing its ownership of a mutex object, the mutex is considered to be abandoned. A waiting thread can acquire ownership of an abandoned mutex, but the wait function's return value indicates that the mutex is abandoned. WaitForSingleObject() will return WAIT_ABANDONED for a mutex that has been abandoned. However, the resource that the mutex is protecting is left in an unknown state. There is no way to tell whether a critical section has been abandoned. So for the mutex case, it appears we cannot trust the mutex at this point? Please provide citations for more recent commentary from Microsoft.
