this isn't linked to the options from winedbg

I assumed you compiled your program with a recent version of msvc. 
winedbg doesn't support the latest version of msvc symbolic information. 
There are IIRC some options to turn on the eldest options (which may end 
up in putting the info inside the EXE, but that's not mandatory. but 
since I don't recall all the msvc switches YMMV).
BTW, I still looking for a decent documentation on latest MSVC symbolic 
info to enhance your debugging support. If someone has some info, I'm 
interested.

A+
