Although rather useless in call stacks, I like hash values because the same address will show up the same. Having '[unknown]' may also be confusing because it doesn't really say "why" it was unknown. But having a number goes back to what it always did. Hashing it with a "[hash]" marker will also let people know the value was hashed. -- Steve
