      On AIX, when the JVM crashes, the thread stack traces are
      written to a log in the same directory as the java executable.
      This is really useful in figuring out what triggered the
      crash, and I think it would help JavaSoft in debugging
      JVM crashes on windows, especially as windows continues to
      evolve.

      Also nice to have would be a way to send a hung java application
      a signal to dump the thread stack. AIX also provides this
      with the "kill" command. I know I can type ctrl-break in
      the console that launched Java, however, this doesn't help
      if you are using javaw.exe in your release version.
