Dear Windbg gurus -
We are having trouble getting Windbg to open some of our crash dump
files.
Under W2K, when our application crashes with a 0-divide (intentional),
or when we use USERDUMP - in both cases, we get a .DMP file that we
cannot read. We get the following (transcribed) message:
could not initialize dump file , win32 error 1392
We looked up 1392 and it seems to imply that the file was corrupted.
What did we do wrong?

Nathan -
I'll look into the .dump command (i'll look in the documentation that
came with Windbg - hope it's there - please provide references/URLs
otherwise).
When we force a dump, we execute a zero divide (you can imagine - "int
x=0; x= x/x;").
I was encouraged by a Microsoft engineer to use USERDUMP - in fact this
gentleman encouraged me to imbed it in my product as a strategy for
diagnosing difficult 'soft realtime' problems (the nature of our
business). What kinds of issues are there for this tool?
Also - we used "userdump -k X.exe" and while it generated a .DMP file,
the process did not die. The command was issued by a different process
- one running as a service. Did running the command as a service
prevent the command from killing the other process (also a service)?
Thanks for your help.

Userdump has known problems. We encourage people to use the debugger
and the .dump command rather than userdump.
How else are you making dump files? Dumps made by Dr Watson on Win2k
should work fine.

fooled by WinDbg 5.0 versions, mostly they are totally dis-functional.
Do consider 4.0.0011. It is indeed better than 3.0.0020.
