Again, I said I'll send a patch for the syminitialize issue being called 
twice (but I need to figure out the semantics for the SymCleanup, which 
seem to be ackward...), but that's unlikely the cause of the later 
crash, so you don't need to spend too much time on the dbghelp issue (if 
you really want to be sure, in SymInitialize return TRUE if we've found 
an existing process with the same handle)
A+
