Hi all,

in case you always wanted to know where to find a proper Windows
kernel debugger:
Go to ftpsearch.lycos.com and search for "iwindbg.exe".
That's the Windows Platform SDK debugger.
Then just add
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug]
# command line to start a debugger when an exception occurs
"Debugger"="c:\your_path_to_windbg\bin\windbg -p %ld -e %ld"

in Windows and you're set.
That way you can either debug crashes on Windows or debug programs by
invoking windbg directly.
That's especially helpful for direct 1:1 comparison of Windows vs. Wine :-)

A (crashing) test program to test whether postmortem debugging works
can be found at
http://home.germany.net/100-30936/download/win32.exe

Nice debugging ! :-)

(not sure about any licensing issues, though !)
