In 8 years on the Windows team I can't recall the debugger ever crashing. If it does, you open the debugger again and reconnect to the target machine.

Heh, I wish that had ever been the case for me. Sometimes it feels like WinDbg freezes every other command. Plus, getting it to reconnect to a kd after it freezes and I kill it was such an exercise in frustration that if the target machine were my own repro box instead of a stress break remote, I would have just hard-reset the machine or (if it were a VM) restored it from snapshot.
