Dmitry, is it possible to ask Citrix to also provide symbols for the Citrix Clients (wfica.ocx and others)?

Google have a symbol server at http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/symsrv for debugging Chrome. Note that these symbol servers contain private symbols, which can be quite large.

Also MS should make Office symbols available as well as OS :-) I totally agree, for example, I would appreciate if Sun publishes the symbols for their JVM.

It would be nice to publish such a list on the blog, so there's a single location where crush dump analysts who encounter foreign code in call stacks can see if there's a relevant third-party symbol store for them to utilize while reviewing the memory dump. From my experience, the lack of public symbols is mostly a problem when it comes to third-party drivers. These very rarely have PDBs (with the notable exception of a network driver I encountered once, whose .CAB included not just a .PDB, but complete *private* symbols as well). Another big offender is anti-virus products. Their file-system filter drivers involve themselves in various I/O call stacks, but without symbols available they often mess up the stack backtrace and debugging interactions with them can be quite a chore.
