SYMPTOMS

While you are debugging Windows 2000 by using a kernel node debugger, the CSRSS.exe process may stop responding (hang).

CAUSE

When the kernel receives a breakin request from a kernel mode debugger, the CSRSS.exe process loses the local procedure call (LPC) message and stops the process. The symptoms you see are an inability to stop or end the process. The only recourse is to restart the computer.
