Force load mismatched pdb

Each pdb has checksum and timestamp which match the corresponding executable(exe or sys), and the timestamp and checksum changes everytime!!

Make it sure that you ship your executable to QA with the PDB file.

If you are not, try force load the symbol(if you are sure that the source is the same)
.reload /f /i xxx.sys

Maybe Skype will provide you with a version that does not have anti-debugger
code in it. This is very typical of DRM protected code. They are all a
real pain in the @#$, even to someone working in the company who does not
have access to a non-DRM version.

Can you try `kdbgctrl.exe -du` on the target machine ?
