Re: Idle processes chewing up CPU?

Hi Craig, the instructions are great. I've gone through them and confirmed
I'm getting the full details in the stack traces. When it happens again,
I'll post the most useful stack traces and we'll be able to look at it
properly. Thanks again for your help so far, the responsiveness is terrific.

No worries. Sorry it cost you time.

I've extended the wiki article on win32 debug info to (hopefully)
explain how to identify a useful stack trace, or at least a likely bogus
one. If you feel like a look I'd value your opinion especially when it
comes to clarity/readability.
