If you allow me to jump in:

So, it is even easier: When an application crashes, Mac OS X asks the user if
he wants to send a report about that to Apple. In this dialog, there is a
button like “Show details”. If you click it, you get a large dialog window
which contains a long text report including a simple stack trace (w/o symbols)
and many more useful information about system configuration. The user can just
click in th elong report, press Command+A to select all the text, then
Command+C to copy it, and then switch to any text editor (e.g. Apple’s
TextEdit) and press Command+V to insert the text. Then the user can save the
log file, best would be to use a text only (.txt) format.

This is the way it is on Mac OS X 10.4 - 10.6.

@ Alex:
can you confirm that it is still the same on Mac OS X 10.7 and .8?

Then we should add such a simple explanation to
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport
(we can improve and expand it later, if necessary).

This is the default daily build we (at least, me) use for all master testing.
Using it and the approach descibed above, you can receive the stack traces w/o
symbols, because this build does not include full symbols.
