Resolution
Type Left-Shift, Right-Shift, ALt, and Esc at the same time to get
to the server Debugger screen. In the Debugger, type
EIP=CSleepUntilInterrupt
Warning: Typing Left-Shift, Right-Shift, Alt, and ESC at the same time will cause the server to go into Debugger mode. THE SERVER WILL BE EFFECTIVELY DOWNED at that point.

Additional Information
This command will interrupt the last NLM called. If that was not
the NLM that caused the server to hang, the server will still need
to be rebooted. Keep in mind that the server once in debugger
mode will no longer be functioning as a server and will be
down.
