Smashed Stack in a Multithreaded Application

One of the most annoying thing in debugging an app is to have it crash and GDB show garbage for the topmost 3-4 frames.

There is not much to do other than to do a diff between your current code (that is crap!) and the last known working version that you have in revision control (I hope you do have that!).
