I'm interested in the server side of this project, as it's something we've been 
working on here. We are developing an internal tool for our own crash reporting 
that does analysis of backtraces and provides a pretty accurate synopsis of 
what happened. I have a set of heuristics that can find various panic and trap 
issues across different CPU architectures, and walk up the trace to the real 
culprit. This includes, for example, that if memset traps the real problem was 
memset's caller, not memset itself.

We then use this information to be able to search for duplicate bug reports 
before opening new ones, and can help assign to the right team based on some 
lists of file and/or routine patterns. There is also a "hint" facility to 
extend the crash dump data collection for different kinds of crashes (e.g. 
memory exhaustion, lock issues, etc.)
