Thanks, this gives a pretty generic result, but it might be all I need.

Well, I've already got the thread times data, which doesn't really tell me 
what the thread is doing *right now*, but I will be collecting a history, 
and as you say, that might help me determine if a partcular thread is stuck 
in an infinite loop, or if there were a race condition.  Unfortunately, I 
can't detect dead-lock this way, but then dead-lock doesn't eaxctly cause 
the CPU to scream either!
