It's stripped, so you won't have symbols, but we should be able to interpret the backtrace addresses over here. If it's in sbrk or malloc or something and we get a good backtrace, that might be enormously useful information. You might want to try this a few times and see if you get consistent results. This bug is tricky since it doesn't happen over here, so we need your help to find it. Thanks! -Mat
