    Description

      Several users have submitted logs or fragments of logs that show "mongod.exe ???" where a stack trace is supposed to be. This happens when the code tries to print a stack trace and the .pdb (Program DataBase) cannot be found. The files are huge, and are usually associated with debuggers, so people probably don't realize that the files are helpful/needed for the rather important stack traces.

      Text could be something like this:

      Windows only: (2.2.0 and above)
      mongod.exe and mongos.exe will print stack traces to the log file when certain unusual events occur. In order for these stack traces to show information about the event that triggered the stack trace, the mongod.pdb or mongos.pdb file should be in the directory from which mongod.exe or mongos.exe is running.
