[Qt-creator] starting debugger cdbengine for abi x86-windows-msvc2015-pe-32bit for over 2 minutes

[Bob Self]

I kept trying to figure out what was going on. I had concluded that it had
something to do with Microsoft's symbol server. Using tcpdump I could see
that it was doing things. So, I shut down that day to think about it. The
next day I tested it again and there was no delay. My internet connection
was fast on both days. So, I think that the problem is resolved. I did not
know that you can turn on the debugger log. I'll do that if this happens
again. I also tried to store the symbols locally, but not sure that I've
done that correctly. I do see my symbols in the directory specified and
Qt's symbols, but no Microsoft symbol files.

thanks,
Bob
