Hello,

Using AllegroCL on WinNT we have an application server executing client requests that
come in the form of CORBA objects.  It is a single queue execution that runs in one
thread.  There is an additional thread connecting to the same process through a
development tool object browser.

The appserver in focus is running in a runtime environment on another machine so i can
only access it through our objectbrowser.  The lisp process is at 100% CPU - I would
like to a) find out why and b) kick it out of whatever it is stuck in.  Using
do-command :zoom tells me about the dev tool thread only.

Would there be a way to say get a backtrace or send a break to this other thread?

TIA

Coby

RTFM re the :focus and :unarrest top-level commands which allow one
process/thread to debug another.
