> Why is the *mutex NULL in the first place? And why would retrying work? Short of some ACL problem that the process doesn't have permission to create a mutex, this almost always is going to be a resource contention problem, too many mutexes held. Ultimately, if they are 'forgotten' kernel resources, the process (and perhaps the system) is going down in flames, but sometimes, we are just in an overbooked state, and a retry after a significant (1s) pause will be enough for other threads to release some mutexes back to the pool of resources. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
