That's exactly the problem.  We're using the "System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore"
interface, but we don't know how to make it work with microsofts symbol writer:

Once you have an `ISymbolWriter' instance, according to the docu the first thing
you must do is to call its Initialize() function - this function takes an `IntPtr'
as first argument and we do not know what this is.

Both using `new IntPtr (0)' and not calling the Initialize() function at all failed.
