FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
1.4.1 beta DOCUMENTATION

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION : Not relevant


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The documentation for the Hotspot deadlock detector that
was introduced in version 1.4.1 states that to activate it,
one must type ctrl-\ This is true for Solaris but not for Windows where it is
necessary to type ctrl-break or ctrl-scroll down
ctrl-\ has no effect at all on Windows.

The documentation and web site should be modified to
reflect this.

Best regards

Ian
