At least on the Linux side, breakpad provides minidump_stackwalk, which takes 
a minidump file and a symbols file and produces a stack trace. That executable 
is not provided with the linden-packaged breakpad though. You will also need 
to make sure the symbols file you are using is from the same build that 
produced the minidump.
