Forcing a system crash from the keyboard.

Your keyboard is locked.

This allows to get a memory
snapsot for debugging. Zip and post it to some download site.

Get a manually initiated full crash dump.

There is no crash that I see.

It is a hang in some dead loop.
That is why it is taking 100% of your CPU.

I can not run this app under user level debugger.
I have to run it under kernel mode debugger
and waste all sorts of time to even see anything
that will give me any hope this thing is going to go away.

Because who cares about XP nowadays with all this win 7 hype?
Who is going to put it on high enough priority list
to get fixed?
