You know, you hit the nail on the head. http://httpd.apache.org/dev/debugging.html has some great information, presuming the distributor of your win32 binaries actually provides the .pdb debugging context files that are required to emit a legible backtrace. (Ok, not strictly required, a significantly less helpful backtrace is emitted without .pdb's, no arguments from the call stack for example, but only if the recommended /Oy- flag is passed to the compiler. OpenSSL doesn't enable this flag by default, so a crash behind an openssl callback from a stock build of openssl will produce an entirely illegible backtrace.) I'm going to rip section 2 of that document in two, one for live backtraces, and a second for JIT/postmortem backtraces, since these seem shrouded in mystery from many users/developers (and they shouldn't be).
