Hi everyone, Seems like the right list to ask, but redirect me if there's a better place, please.
I have a Java process that forks a process and waits for it. When repeatedly running on: Windows (64 bit) java version "1.7.0_05" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_05-b05) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.1-b03, mixed mode) it once hung on: "pool-10-thread-1" prio=6 tid=0x000000000a31b800 nid=0x1964 runnable [0x000000000a49e000] java.lang.Thread.State: RUNNABLE at java.lang.ProcessImpl.waitForInterruptibly(Native Method) at java.lang.ProcessImpl.waitFor(ProcessImpl.java:252) Interestingly, the forked process was not visible to jps, jstack or any other tools. Neither could it be killed using procexp. I've created a mini and full dump file to see where it actually was and what happened but I don't know the windows toolchain enough to be able to analyze it. What I did get to is load windbg and a dump threads from a full dump: 0:000> ~*kL WARNING: Teb 0 pointer is NULL - defaulting to 00000000`7ffde000 WARNING: 00000000`7ffde000 does not appear to be a TEB . 0 Id: ec8.e88 Suspend: -1 Teb: 00000000`7ffde000 Unfrozen WARNING: Teb 0 pointer is NULL - defaulting to 00000000`7ffde000 WARNING: 00000000`7ffde000 does not appear to be a TEB Child-SP RetAddr Call Site 00000000`06d5fb48 00000000`7753418b ntdll!NtTerminateProcess+0xa 00000000`06d5fb50 00000000`74320cf5 ntdll!RtlExitUserProcess+0x9b *** ERROR: Symbol file could not be found.

Any help decoding what's happened will be greatly appreciated. Dawid
