Hi Michael,

>it's usually possible to fix a deadlock from just a backtrace of all threads.

>you say you have a user who has been blessed by the gods with an ability to reproduce the problem, so give them an LO with debug symbols (perhaps use Kendy's fancy symbol-server thing or build it yourself), and once it's properly locked up attach Visual Studio (or windbg) and copy all the stacks and file a bug (CC: me).

I will set up and we'll see if the user is really blessed.
But as small changes (like trying again one minute later) can make that reproducing is not possible, it may be a long time before we're able to really catch a backtrace of the deadlock.
