crash_generation_app deadlocks

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. compile crash_generation_app in MSVC 2005 in debug mode
2. run crash_generation_app.exe on WinXP running on E6400 intel cpu
3. choose "Server->start"
4. choose "Client->Request Dump"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect dump to be created and application not to freeze.
instead application freezes.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

latest and greatest svn, which is r310 10 Feb 2009
Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.

The dump created by the application is attached.
It shows that in the moment of dump creation the process was waiting 
for a semaphore on exception_handler.cc:593 

[WaitForSingleObject(handler_finish_semaphore_, INFINITE);]

after the application froze, I attached a debugger to it and saw that it is
still waiting on the same semaphore

is there progress with this bug? I tried a new revision of breakpad early this 
may 
and it was still glaringly there ...

I would really love to use breakpad instead of ugly commercial stuff, which 
does god 
knows what, but a deadlock in the sample application? come on?!?
