normally there's a message printed out when a critsect times out like:The null ebp at the top is kind of odd, I think this stack might be the result of a demarshalled RPC call. But anyway. As you can see it's blocking on a critical section, but I don't know how to find out which thread has got suck inside it. I tried putting trace statements in Rtl(Enter/Leave)CriticalSection, oops, not a good idea, waaaay too much spew there to be useful.
So, what I'd like to know is whether there is any way to find out which thread has entered that critical section. Also, is this even a good idea, or is there a better way to debug thread deadlocks?

section 0x12345678 myCS wait timed out, retrying (60 sec) tid=xxxx
and the tid gives you the thread id of the thread holding the cs
then, you can use it for example in 'bt <tid>' to get a backtrace of that particular thread and look at what it's doing
