Looks like Dr Watson won't help our specific problem:
"Dr. Watson cannot create a snapshot if the program does not respond (hangs)."
From "How to Troubleshoot Program Faults with Dr. Watson":
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q275481
However, we do experience php.exe crashes at times, and it looks like we may be able to get a minidump in those instances using Dr. Watson.

We need to: - provide a debug build with symbols (could be generated daily to reduce load on Edin's snap box)This would great! (I had already suggested that). I don't have the MS compiler, just cygwin, and sometimes I get an error with the snap binnary and then I can't reproduce it with the cygwin build. So, it would be a great help.- find out exactly how to get Dr. Watson (or whatever) to drop dumps for applicationsI'll investigate this.- otherwise suggest that they install a debugger. Installing dev tools under win tends to destabilize the system, so its something to avoid for production machines; Debugging Tools for Windows is much better for this than VC++/VS.Net, and is also free. --Wez.
