Ouch! I never got the segfault on my side.

Here is the setup I am using:
- OMAP4 Pandaboard,
- 13.07 Ubuntu dist from http://www.linaro.org/downloads/,
- 3.11 mainline kernel + 3 patches for unwinding info,
- patched perf tool,
- dbg flavor of the libs installed. Without them installed I do not
get the address resolved but no segfaults

Can you check if the linked libraries contain the .debug_frame
sections? (ldd; readelf -S /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc-2.17.so|grep
debug_frame; readelf -S
/usr/lib/debug/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc-2.17.so|grep debug_frame)?
