SYMPTOMS
When you initiate a debug operation in one program from another program in the Japanese-language version of Microsoft Windows XP, the computer may stop responding.
Note This issue occurs less frequently when you prevent Ctfmon.exe from running in the background.
CAUSE
This problem may occur if the Japanese Input Method Editor (IME) initialization code incorrectly locks a mutex. When the mutex is locked, it blocks a thread that the debug program must use to work correctly.
