[mod_python] Re: Failed to acquire global mutex lock on OS X 10.4.1

I found the problem.

I used the default httpd.conf after building from source.  The default
user is nobody, which doesn't have any permissions on the machine. 
After making that a real user, mutex locks were happy, which made
sessions happy.
