Originally reported here: https://github.com/DonJayamanne/pythonVSCode/issues/553 Another case of this here: https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens/issues/439

Actual behavior

Executing vscode.executeDocumentSymbolProvider only returns all the symbols on the first call, successive calls return 0 symbols (at least within a small window)

Expected behavior

Executing vscode.executeDocumentSymbolProvider should return all the symbols no matter how many times (concurrently or not) it is called

Steps to reproduce:

Call vscode.executeDocumentSymbolProvider more than once in close succession (or observe the behavior seen in https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens/issues/439)
