Research direction
Start by reading rust-lang/rust#119560, then trace the Windows debuginfo lookup path in backtrace-rs. Determine where a failed lookup can be remembered and define the conservative stop-looking behavior; done means the cited regressions no longer surface without disrupting successful debuginfo lookup.
