<h2><a name="symbols">Binary Diagnostic Symbol Downloads</a></h2>

<p>We now distribute a -symbols.zip file containing the precise
debugging symbols corresponding to each released binary distribution.
For the typical user, there is no need to download these archives.
</p>

<p>These -symbols.zip packages contain the .pdb diagnostic symbol files (which
correpsond to the distributed binary release) and can be used by nearly all
modern Windows debugging tools, including the freely available WinDbg utility.
They are most useful for the core developers to review crash dumps generated
by Dr. Watson if Apache experiences a General Protection Fault. They also
provide additional backtrace details in Dr. Watson crash log files, if they
are installed into the Apache directory which is experiencing General
Protection Fault or other crash issues.
</p>

<p>If you don't understand a word of this, and a developer did not personally
ask you to install them to help troubleshoot a problem, please trust that
you do not need these files to install or run Apache Tomcat Connectors.
