	Hi all !

I have a problem with the following code under win32:

let m = Mutex.create ()

let () =
  Mutex.lock m;
  if Mutex.try_lock m then
    Printf.printf "locked !\n"
  else
    Printf.printf "could not lock!\n"


When run, the program outputs: "locked !"

Obviously, this is not the intented behaviour..

Do you know what is wrong ? Is there something I am missing ??
