To follow this up:

Sometimes you have to work with the information you have available,
rather than the information you wish you had available.  in an
earlier post, he said that he was having problems collecting
system crash dumps.  So what he has is pretty much what we get to
work with.

If you think that's fun, try translating a traceback that's a set
of hexadecimal instruction addresses for a released product (at
least you get the symbol'ed kernel to look at in gdb) from a
blurry digital photograph of a computer monitor...
