I recomment against this suggestion in debugging any multithreaded code.
Putting a message box in such an application will just change things way
too much to represent anything similar to the original application.

However, in single-threaded apps, it won't cause any such issues, and
may be a good idea (if you remember to not include them in the retail
version, that is!).
