If you have the Mono version of the .NET API under Linux, then
you can enjoy the same stack unwinding.

Also, if you can get your .NET application to run under Windows 98
(something I haven't determined yet), then you enjoy the same
stack unwinding there, too.  Whereas the DbgHlp.dll is a little bit 
messed up under Windows 98.
