The new snapshot runs the flock STC. Thanks!

I've been building libapr1 without F_SETLK support for a while since
it was also triggering the "NtCreateEvent(lock): 0xC0000035"
error. Since you mentioned fcntl, I tried re-enabling the fcntl
mutexes. They still trigger the error.

I've attached a similar STC that uses fcntl instead of flock.
