Hit CTRL+ALT+END instead.

Problem

I am connecting to a Windows XP machine via Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection Client, version 2.0.0 Beta 3, running on a Mac. On the Windows machine there is a Java console running, where I want to send a Ctrl-Break so I can see the Java threads running. According to the RDC help, Alt/Option-F3 is break, but Ctrl-Opt-F3 and various other combinations do not have an effect. Any ideas on how to send a Ctrl-Break?
