Yup, recent patch Tuesday updated jscript9.dll and MS havent released the public PDB for it on their symbol servers yet. We can verify with WinDbg:

0:024> !sym noisy
noisy mode - symbol prompts on
0:024> .reload /f "JSCRIPT9.DLL"
SYMSRV:  d:\symbols\jscript9.pdb\55EE0BA30FCD40FB8DDB914AB180717A2\jscript9.pdb not found
SYMSRV:  http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols/jscript9.pdb/55EE0BA30FCD40FB8DDB914AB180717A2/jscript9.pdb not found
DBGHELP: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\jscript9.pdb - file not found
DBGHELP: jscript9.pdb - file not found
*** ERROR: Symbol file could not be found.  Defaulted to export symbols for C:\Windows\SysWOW64\jscript9.dll - 
DBGHELP: jscript9 - export symbols

Solutions are as follows:

• Wait for MS to release PDBs before updating your grinder nodes. (The IE PDB's always seem to take a week or two to hit the public symbol server after each patch Tuesday).
• Remove the update so you can get a previous version of jscript9.dll which has a public PDB.
• Modify .\grinder\node\browser\internetexplorer.rb to hard code an VA for 'jscript9!StrToDbl' in to the variable strtodbl @ https://github.com/stephenfewer/grinder/blob/master/node/browser/internetexplorer.rb#L95
