So - to sum the above up, the symbol server did not work as at it was
set up, but works now after the weekend ;-)  If you want to upload the
release builds symbols, the best would be move the code from the above
mentioned commit directly to bin/ in core (together with the

fixup), and use it for the release builds as well as in the tinderbox,
so that we have one master version of the symbols uploading script.

Cloph - one catch about the symbols is that the URL where they are
located must be all lower case! ;-) - WinDbg lowercases whatever you
provide there.  But overall they are not _that_ huge, currently about
2.7G.

For the QA purposes, I slightly updated the

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/How_to_get_a_backtrace_with_WinDbg

article, but I am afraid it is still less than ideal; but at least the
First Time Setup should be easier to follow now.  Any improvements in
the article much appreciated :-)

All the best,
Kendy
