However, this would only work for unlocked mutexes --- a locked mutex would potentially remain locked, but with no clear owner, or it might be unlocked, depending on how the state was stored.

Well, leaving a mutex locked in a file does not seem a very good idea. That would indicate that the process that has acquired the mutex has died, so I would assume the mapped file is corrupted. If we can make this work for locked mutexes would be good enough IMHO. Regards, Ion
