We have a single page application that randomly crashes the whole browser tab. I observed the memory for more than an hour but it wasn't increasing and everything looks just fine. Than out of a sudden after some more time passes, the tab crashes.
I looked for a crash dump in
C:UserscburgdorfAppDataLocalGoogleCrashReports
but the Chrome-last.dmp is totally outdated. Is there any place where I can look for additional information about the crash? Not to mention it's a hard to reproduce beast.
I wonder if I could start Chrome with windbg attached and wait (2 hours or so sigh) for the tab crash. Would that work?
UPDATE
All of you gave good answers and provided valueable advice for bug hunting. In the end I was able to reproduce the bug and get a clear crash dump using the following steps:
1.) windbg.exe -o chrome.exe
2.) reproduce crash
3.) .dump /ma C:PathToACrashDumpFile.dmp (as Paul pointed out)
4.) end session and load the crash dum with windbg
5.) use !analyze -v to extract valuable information
