I have had this kind of problems before, and I seem to remember I even posted a
bug about it.
For your information the error message you get does come from mod_ssl:
bash-2.03$ find . -type f -name \*.c -exec grep -l 'Failed to acquire global
mutex lock' {} \;
./modules/ssl/ssl_engine_mutex.c
bash-2.03$
This problem appeared when I migrated from Apache 2.0.49 to 2.0.54. The default
mutex for my platform (Solaris) was changed somewhere thereabout.
I ended up explicitly setting AcceptMutex and SSLMutex to pthread (the previous
default) and never had this problem again. I believe using a file, fcntl or
flock mutex on a shared drive is not recommended

Thanks for replying, Axel.
I'm familiar with the SSLMutex issue, but I doubt that it is the problem in
this case. The system failed over to another node that uses the same
configuration files (on a shared drive), and it runs fine on the other node.
It has to be something that is particular to the orignal node. I think it has
to do with stopping and starting Apache while the process monitor was also
attempting to start it. I don't know how the lock is implemented, but possibly
it is trying to access the lock with an old reference that no longer exists?
