Remote debug session hangs app

My group is getting started on app development for the system I've put
together in CE 4.2. We've encountered a hang condition that seems to
be caused by running the app through a debugger.

By tracing into the OS, I tracked down the hang into a call to
OutputDebugString(). The OS notifies the debugger that the output
buffer has a new string, then waits infinitely for the debugger to
respond with a continue event. (See the WaitForDebugEvent() function
group for reference.)

We're using the provided driver for a RTL8139 NIC. This happens with
both KITL and TCP/IP debug connections.

Is this a known problem? Is there something I can do about it?
