in thread List Mutexes on Win32

It just occured to me that a DOS application that allowed me to view mutexes and semaphores might be a quicker way to debug than using Process Explorer from sysinternals. I believe they use an undocumented API called HandleEx.

    Hmm. The other tool around that can do this is SysInternals HandleEx. This apparently requires a custom (and non-open source) device driver to achieve it.

    I'm positive I saw some sample code showing how to do this whilst searching for something else a coupe of years ago, but I cannot find it now.
