errno 34 is ERANGE. Your custom module is trying to parse a number
from a string, probably strtol() or variant, and fails. It then
reports a problem releasing a mutex, and your entire server locks up.
I'd suggest these things are not unrelated.

Given that the failing code is in your custom module, I guess you are
on your own. The proxy error comes from mod_wl_22; you should contact
Oracle to resolve that.
