What does it mean?

Should my suspsions be aroused?

Does it mean what I'm thinking it means?

Or is it entirely innocent?

This can arise when your Symbols are corrupt (the contents of the SymCache folder)

Delete the folder and set the symbol path to
SRV*C:\SymCache*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
