There hasn't been any response to the bug report yet and I'm wondering
why. I don't want to be pushy, but I'm curious if this is because core
developers haven't yet had time to look at it, the STC does not provide
enough information, or perhaps it was just overlooked.

I'm trying to build a 64-bit version of this library and the test case
is failing there, too. If this won't be addressed, I will disable flock
locking in libapr1.
