It's not a very scientific statement on my behalf, just that I only 
observe it on IA32 not on x8664. Sorry should have qualified that up front.

Right so --stackonly should include [vdso] then to make the corefile 
back trace workable. Strictly speaking we're breaking the contract 
there, but oh well.

I think I will replace that (--stack only) option with a regex option 
dump instead. For example:

--regex="(heap\|stack\|vdso)"

or something.
