Sorry, I should have been clearer.

I meant that setup's progress simply stopped.  I could still cancel it,
so it was still responding to mouse events.  Also, the system CPU load
was low, and the network traffic was low.

I'd be willing to try a debug snapshot.  I haven't used gdb to debug
threads though.

I assume I run ps and use the PID, not the WINPID to attach to?
What are the commands to list threads, and attach to a thread?

Or do you simply say "thread apply all where" ?
