AFAIK, the Solaris-specific recovery logic for cross-process pthread
mutexes has been working reliably for a long time, but with the
current wind direction APR is choosing fcntl(), which has sysdef
implementations on that platform.
no clues here about the POSIX semaphores
OS X has Posix (and that's why I added them) and I can't
recreate any sort of doomsday scenario by causing segfaults
at "inopportune" times.
Anyone opposed if we, at least for 2.0/trunk, allow both to
be defaults?
