That patch looks much better than mine. I'll try it out later next week and 
will also have a look at util/unwind-libdw.c. Question: How can I test the 
behavior of the latter? Do I need to uninstall libunwind, or can I change the 
unwinder at runtime somehow (env var?).

Also, are there unit tests for this behavior somewhere?
