Visual C++ Debugger Hangup

[Obi Wan]

I am running Visual C++ 6 SR5 on a HyperThreaded machine. From time to time
the debugger will hangup, forcing a power switch reboot. It does not appear
to be related to my application.

I recall seeing something on the Microsoft site (when it was not relevant to
me), but I cannot find it now.

Any help will be appreciated.

I'm thinking old software, new hardware technology?
There is also an SR6 for Visual Studio 6 available.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/do...es/sp/vs6/sp6/

There are numerous articles on problems with various software products on
hyperthreading hardware. Go here,

http://msdn.microsoft.com/

and search on "hyperthreading"

Peter:

Thanks!

Actually I mis-spoke (wrote)...I have SP6.

I went to "http://msdn.microsoft.com/" as suggested and searched for
"HyperThreading," with no success.

Try it without the capital H and T, all lower case. I got over 20 hits right
away.

Peter:

I need to be more precise. I got hits on HyperThreading, but none were
relevant to my problem.

At least temporarily I have disabled HyperThreading and no hangs thus far.
As a side note, I had noticed an anomaly with BSD sockets...send would hang
on occassion. since disabling HyperThreading it also has not hung.

All this could be due to subtle timing differences, so I'm not claiming
victory yet.
