Is it failing for every executable or only for more complex stuff?

I guess any version of dbghelp.dll might stumble over the debug info of 
larger programs, e.g. if they contain compressed symbols, symbols longer 
than 255 characters, inconsistent debug info, etc. cv2pdb also fixes 
various issues, but these might be unrelated to the symbols necessary 
for the stack dump.
