Hi all,
I have filed a bug in bugzilla for this issue:
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50058
and added a patch which simple removes the calls to apr_file_lock() and
apr_file_unlock()!
Please can some test this!?
Also I have found some more issues with apr_file_*() functions under
Windows. I'll describe it in another mail.
Regards,
Stefan

Hi all,
yesterday I ran into the following problem. I use the apr_file_lock()
function in conjunction with the APR_FOPEN_APPEND flag and under Linux
everything is fine.
Under Windows any attempt to write to the opened and locked file I get a
deadlock. This is due the fact that apr_file_write() creates an own lock
with apr_file_lock() if the file was opened with the APR_FOPEN_APPEND flag.
First this is inconsistent through different operating systems Unix does
not lock, Windows does lock the file in append mode. However, I think
the locking in the Windows implementation is wrong. The user has to
choose if he wants to lock the file or not!
To reproduce the behavior please compile and test the attached example!
Any comments? Should I file a bug report?

Stefan
