Question regarding KDE Crash Handler

Hi!

I have a reproducable crash of Amarok Beta 3, I installed the amarok-dbg 
package in order to create a backtrace. From the KDE Crash Handler I'm getting 
the following note:

This backtrace appears to be of no use.
This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents 
creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in 
the crash.

Obviously I have gdb installed.

I tried to start amarok from within gdb, but I have "only 380 MBytes" of RAM, 
and this attempt locked the whole system swapping. Because the harddisk is dog 
slow, swapping doesn't really make sense, so I terminated this attempt after 
watching a few minutes.

Do you have an idea why the Crash Handler can't create the backtrace? Or do 
you have another proposal on how I could get the backtrace?

regards
matthias
