Off the top of my head:
- Are you compiling with --enable-profiling?
- The actual unwind is performed by DbgHelp library. Make sure it's
up-to-date. We have had this issue on windows xp that require a
DbgHelp update. Unlikely for win8 but a good thing to check.
- The call is made here:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/xpcom/base/nsStackWalk.cpp#381
but I don't see anything wrong.
- Are you compiling with frame pointers? Apparently in AMD64 the
defaults may be different. Try compiling explicitly with frame
pointers (or making sure they are there). If that's it we need to
update --enable-profiling to do the right thing.
