I DO know that the SSL extension for apache does attempt to use global mutexes - the reason is that as an SSL connection is terminated, it needs to be "resumable" with a fast handshake (as per the SSL handshakes), which could happen across clients. Now, I don't see it creating, so that may not be an issue. Something I noticed is that your sleep() function is for 83 minutes (repetatively, no less). (You could be seeing issues with the threads running for so long - mutexes work in conjunction with threads and semaphores to keep things in sync). Additionally, you are using _beginthread() [which are native Microsoft calls] when you could be using apr_thread_create (I don't know how portable those commands are to winders, but you might want to try and implement those). See http://apr.apache.org/docs/apr/0.9/group__apr__thread__proc.html for more details regarding the functions. I'd try the aprlib functions to see if things improve - which I expect they will - and if they do, what you are experiencing is a collision of threads and shared memory routines between the windows platform and the actual APRLIB utilized by mod_ssl.
