[vbox-dev] One more nasty stuck/crash of Qt GUI on Windows host

[Huihong Luo]

when something is freezing, usually indicates some kind of loop, or inter locking of some threads.
 
If you attach a debugger to the process, then click Break All, it will most likely break into the place that is looping, or wait.
 
You can download WinDbg, a very good debugger on Windows.
 
One problem is that since VBox does not ship debugging symbols, you may need to build your own OSE code, which will generates debug symbol files.

How can we debug it ???

Can you setup some computer with remote access to it + debugging
tools, so I can reproduce the crash ?
