Description

While tracking down Bug 995, I've found out that apr's testglobalmutex
and testprocmutex are failing for me when running in SMP mode on a
Dual P3.  The same tests do not fail when running in Single Processor
mode or running on my Dual Athlon in SMP mode.  I am not certain if
this related to Bug 995, but it does appear that httpd is going into a
deadlock and the subversion cmdline client eventually times out.  I've
also noticed that apache leaks semaphores when this happens (from ipcs).
