Just reproduced again.

Yes it does.

I only see CSwitch change once I click OK on the thread window. Once I do
that, it goes up to 3 and back to blank again. The 'context switches' counter
does not increase like it does for other processes (like e.g. process
explorer itself).

Another thing which may or may not be of interest: Nothing is listed in the
'TCP/IP' tab for the stuck process. I would have expected to see at least the
socket of the client connection there??

This is 8.1.3 on Windows 2003 Server. Also reproduced on 8.1.0 and 8.1.1 (also
on 2K3).
