Bug#429826: debreaper: fails to get call stack for even the simplest conditions

[Jiří Paleček]

Package: debreaper
Version: 0.2
Severity: normal

Hello,


from debreaper is:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/workspace/HelenOS/HelenOS$ /tmp/a.out
Application ELF (pid 3120) crashed
Please wait while collecting information about the crash...

Extracting package information...



Using host libthread_db library "/lib/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".
0xb7fce410 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
#0  0xb7fce410 in __kernel_vsyscall ()

#3  0x00000c31 in ?? ()
#4  0xbfd698b8 in ?? ()
#5  0x00000000 in ?? ()

which is completely useless, even though the program is compiled with debug
information.
