How to prevent wpa crash with bad symbols from symbol server?

Sporadically I encounter crashes of wpa (it simply disappears from screen), and after cleaning C:\Symbols and c:\SymCache, it starts to work.
I wonder what can I do to make the process more stable. Obviously some symbol files are corrupt(?), but I expect a tool like wpa to handle that gracefully, without crashing. Yet, we see this behavior with all wpa versions for years.
Is there any log that might get insight which symbol files cause the crash? Anything else we can do?
