Disowning this Bug as it is not libunwind related.

libunwind only fails to resolve the symbols after the fd (file descriptor)
process table gets filled up (>1024 fds).

You can debug it by:
valgrind --track-fds=yes ./frysk-core/TestRunner -r 1000
'testStressMultiThreadedDetach(frysk.util.StressTestFStack)'

resulting in libunwind's failings:
Warning: invalid file descriptor 1019 in syscall open()

and the final reported leaked fds:

There is some leakage, libdwfl's dwfl_end() is not called appropriately.
As it is called from the Dwfl binding's finalize() I assume there are some
leaked Java object references.
But I did not analyse it more as the bug looks to lie in the Java land.
Also running of the testcase above eats about 0.5GB of memory also suggesting
some leakage occurs there.

Found that it is not (may not) be a Java code problem (not calling dwfl_end()
from its finalizers).
The leakage is present in elfutils even if one calls dwfl_end():

elfutils 0.127 fixes this.
