Oh, they mean something. It's just that what they mean isn't terribly
useful most of the time. Some of them are less useful than they could be,
granted, but even the ones that could be useful are practically useless
unless you happened to generate a detailed map file when you built the
code, and even then they only become marginally useful because you can't
see how the system got there (the "stack dump" is poorly formatted and
far too short, so you can't even get a decent stack trace.)
