+signal-event EVENTID
+  Signal ("set") the given MS-Windows event object.  This is used in
+  conjunction with the Windows JIT debugging (AeDebug) support, where
+  the OS suspends a crashing process until a debugger can attach to
+  it.  Resuming the crashing process, in order to debug it, is done by
+  signalling an event.

 * Support for tracepoints and fast tracepoints on s390-linux and s390x-linux
   was added in GDBserver, including JIT compiling fast tracepoint's
   conditional expression bytecode into native code.

+The first @code{%ld} will be replaced by the process ID of the

+``Cancel'' buttons to appear, which allows the user to either
+terminate the crashing process (OK) or debug it (Cancel).
