I vote for that list as well, but as long as the viewer is leaking
the way it does now, the work is pretty useless because the list will
most likely be dominated by out of memory crashes.

Dunno what Watson does (exactly), but these crash dumps are Microsoft
style. You can load them into the debugger and will see call stack,
threads and registers.  There are bigger dumps (which Linden doesn't
produce) which even let you look at memory in a limited way.
