This one was caused by a missing symbol extraction after symbol upload. I
could not find any reason in the log files that explains why the upload of
the symbols would succeed but the unziping of the uploaded file would fail.
As a result the symbol information for most of our own symbols were missing.

After a manual extraction I can see at least most of the libmerged symbols
being resolved when I call minidump_stackwalk manually on the server.
However, the mentioned symbol information issue still remains and in some
cases where the top level stack frame is in a system library we still miss
some resolved stack frames.

Regards,
Markus
