Or even better:
Settings dialog->Advanced->DebugOutputString : set this value to true
and click ok to save the setting and close the dialog.

Then get the dbgview utility from here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896647.aspx

Start it, and you should see a lot of debug outputs from the status cache.
