MSVC++ 6.0 windbg

I'm having strange problems with the newer windbg that works with MSVC++ 6.0
in that the stack trace after a halt is not as useful as the same code
compiled with MSVC++4.2 and using the older version of windbg. The newer
setup never has the calls made to routines inside my driver except
DriverEntry(). The old setup, using the exact same source contains a much
better and useful stack trace.

    Is there any difference between the current windbg & the old one when
    using the same compiler?

    The new WinDbg works best with PDB files.
