Great!

I must say that parsing
strings in C(++) is a challenge and I don't want to admit how long it
took to get it all right or how many seg faults I created...

OK, I'm curious - why didn't you do it in Java, using java.lang.Process to run addr2line and long[] to represent the raw stack trace? I guess there might be some complications in ensuring that the void *'s always convert correctly to longs and back, but it should still be simpler than the C++ version.

Bryce.
