Reporting crashes on windows platforms – Lucent Technologies Ethereal User Manual

backtrace is a gdb command. You should enter it verbatim after the first line shown
above, but it will not be echoed. The ^D (Control-D, that is, press the Control key and
the D key together) will cause gdb to exit. This will leave you with a file called
bt.txt
in the current directory. Include the file with your bug report.
Note
If you do not have gdb available, you will have to check out your operating system's
debugger.
You should mail the traceback to the
mailing list.
1.7.7. Reporting Crashes on Windows platforms
The Windows distributions don't contain the symbol files (.pdb), because they are very large. For
this reason it's not possible to create a meaningful backtrace file from it. You should report your
crash just like other problems, using the mechanism described above.
