Can't asynchronously break into a win32 program

[Rosenbloom, Jack]

Hello,

I have a win32 program written in C++ compiled with OW1.9. I've been
evolving the code for years. In the past 6 months or so, I lost the
ability to to click the mouse on wdw.exe and break into the debugger.
At 1st, this would fail once in a while, now it fails all the time. I
really have no idea what changes I made to cause this. Does anyone know
what can prevent the debugger from being able to break in? I really miss
this feature.

Thanks!
Jack

Lost it: how? I.e. what actually happens if you try it now?

Are you aware of the limitations of this functionality as layed out in
the WD documentation, particularly the section "Interrupting a Running
Program --> Windows NT, Windows 95"?
