No, except if this was compiled with gcc 4.0.x (or maybe earlier), in which
case inspection of the unwind data might be needed to tell if it's one of the
mis-generated cases that we saw earlier.

Again - a stack trace alone (as above) will never be likely to yield anything,
raw stack data and in some (most?) cases the relevant unwind data are also
needed.
