just don't get the bugs fixed.
It's hard to say anything useful without having a minidump to play with. Obviously if we had symbols for OS libraries (bug 528231) we'd be likely to get something more useful, but I'm surprised that we don't get anywhere from stack scanning. Maybe we just need a newer minidump_stackwalk binary?
Inconveniently, https://tbpl.mozilla.org/php/getParsedLog.php?id=10726905&tree=Mozilla-Inbound is a Linux64 talos crash with a useful stack, so it's not the case that they are always busted, which would probably be easier to deal with.

Okay, so, that shows a crash in Gecko code, and we get a useful stack. If you look at the full log, however, all of the other threads display the same problem, a single useless frame in libpthread. Clearly the stackwalker is having an issue walking out of those pthread frames.
Do we have a plan to make progress on this? Is bug 745193 all we need to do here?
Getting that bug fixed will at least allow us to examine these minidumps and see if we can figure out what's going on. As of right now there's not enough info in the log to do anything at all.
Depends on: 745193, 744442
This appears to affect all platforms, not just Linux64.
