Visual-studio – How to get a call stack for an intermittently crashing devenv.com

I have a nightly build DOS batch script that invokes devenv.exe to build a solution file. Intermittently I observe a devenv.com crash. I get a DW20.exe "share your pain" dialog.

1) If Debug button is pressed, I am not presented with a usual "Choose your debugger" window. Rather, it does nothing.

2) If I launch a Visual Studio and try to attach to devenv.com, it says that the application appears to be deadlocked or waiting for an operation to finish. (I think because it's debugged by DW20.exe)

What would you recommend I do to get a decent call stack?

EDIT

I was successful in getting WinDBG to attach. Executed the k command. Does the following look like something meaningful that can be passed on to the compiler team? Is there a way to look at the current exception?

I am trying to get !analyze -v to work.

EDIT 2

I found out that there are these wonderful SOS extensions to WinDBG. Apparently I can use them to debug C# Compiler…
