Because I was debugging a dump. I didn't have that version installed on
my machine.
I could've just got them to send a zipped copy of their symbols
directory, too.
It turns out that it doesn't matter whether individual releases can be
perfectly identified; the symbol server indexer takes care of that. I'll
just collect symbols from each release and pop them in my symbol cache
so I don't have to worry in future.
Publishing a complete symbol cache via a symbol server would be pretty
handy, though. If needs be it's something I'll do, it'll just be harder
for me to keep it up to date and not miss any releases.
