ASP.Net Worker Process Freezes when Debugger is Attached

I see a lot of questions for Visual Studio hanging when attacking the debugger. Mine is the opposite (maybe). When I attach Visual Studio 2010 to a remote w3wp process, the w3wp process hangs. Requests just sit and won't process until I stop detach. The application doesn't recycle. Unfortunately there's so many prominent hanging when attaching the debugger question its hard to find a solution for the reverse. Hoping someone here has an idea.

Its a brand new Windows 7 machine with Visual Studio 2010 attaching to Windows 2008 server.

I've tried running as administrator. It didn't help.

I've tried attaching to a local process (that works).

I've tried attaching to a different managed 4.0 w3wp process on the same remote server. I can successfully debug those without freezing. Being attached to that process, as expected, does not freeze the website I'm having trouble with.

I was successfully debugging on the process in question on the Windows XP machine I just replaced.

I've reset IIS. I've restarted the remote debugger service on the remote server.

Only seems to freeze up when I select 'Managed 4.0' for the debugging options (of course thats what I need to debug).

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Well I didn't have a whole bunch, but I deleted all my breakpoints (Debug - Delete all breakpoints) and all of a sudden the page loaded. I did this while attached. So something was a bit fluky there. Hope this saves someone else some day ;)
