Author "Deadlock" errors/warnings in error_log

Hi,

We're running Apache 2.0.55 on Solaris 9, and we are seeing a number of
"[error]" and "[warn]" messages in the error_log file. The error msgs
occur occasionally, but the warn msgs are output quite frequently.

The error msgs say:

[error] [client AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD] (45) Deadlock situation
detected/avoided: apr_global_mutex_lock (rewrite_log_lock) failed,
referer: http://myhostx.xxx.com/...

The warn msgs say:

[warn] (45) Deadlock situation detected/avoided: ap_proxy: couldn't
create the lock

Does anyone know what might be causing these messages, and how to
eliminate them?

Also, since these msgs seem to refer to mutexes and locks, would these
errors and warnings be causing the performance of Apache to slow down?

Thanks in advance,
Jim

We ran into a v similar problem with 2.0.55 on Solaris 8. Have a look
at this bug report which I think is relevant to your situation:

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32325

We changed the acceptmutex from the default (fcntl) to pthread and this
fixed our issue.
