WAIT_ABANDONED, according to these notes, is a signal that the owning thread has closed, and IIUC Win32 kernel will choose a new owner as a 'next step'.
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38410 What happens on unix when the owner 'dies'? Can we map this to some consistent results from the apr call to apr_proc_mutex_[try]lock()? I agree with the reporter, and will commit the fix in the next few hours if someone's able to explain the 'unix behavior' to me :) Bill
